1# OpenBMC REST cheat sheet
2
3This document is intended to provide a set of REST client commands for OpenBMC usage.
4
5## Using CURL commands
6
7### Notes on authentication:
8The original REST server, from the phosphor-rest-server repository, uses
9authentication handled by the curl cookie jar files. The bmcweb REST server
10can use the same cookie jar files for read-only REST methods like GET, but
11requires either an authentication token or the username and password passed in
12as part of the URL for non-read-only methods.
13
14Starting with the 2.7 OpenBMC release (August 2019), bmcweb is the default REST
15server.
16
17### Establish REST connection session
18* Using just the cookie jar files for the phosphor-rest server:
19   ```
20   $ export bmc=xx.xx.xx.xx
21   $ curl -c cjar -b cjar -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://${bmc}/login -d "{\"data\": [ \"root\", \"0penBmc\" ] }"
22   ```
23* If passing in the username/password as part of the URL, no unique login call
24  is required.  The URL format is:
25
26   ```
27   <username>:<password>@<hostname>/<path>...
28   ```
29  For example:
30   ```
31   $ export bmc=xx.xx.xx.xx
32   $ curl -k -X GET https://root:0penBmc@${bmc}/xyz/openbmc_project/list
33   ```
34* Token based authentication.
35
36     ```
37   $ export bmc=xx.xx.xx.xx
38   $ export token=`curl -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://${bmc}/login -d '{"username" :  "root", "password" :  "0penBmc"}' | grep token | awk '{print $2;}' | tr -d '"'`
39   $ curl -k -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" https://${bmc}/xyz/openbmc_project/...
40   ```
41
42   The third method is recommended.
43
44### Commands
45Note: To keep the syntax below common between the phosphor-rest and bmcweb
46      implementations as described above, this assumes that if bmcweb
47      is used it is using the 'Token based' login method as described above:
48
49   ```
50   $ export bmc=xx.xx.xx.xx
51   $ export token=`curl -k -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://${bmc}/login -d '{"username" :  "root", "password" :  "0penBmc"}' | grep token | awk '{print $2;}' | tr -d '"'`
52   $ curl -k -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" https://$bmc/xyz/openbmc_project/...
53   ```
54
55* List and enumerate:
56   ```
57   $ curl -k -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" https://${bmc}/xyz/openbmc_project/list
58   $ curl -k -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" https://${bmc}/xyz/openbmc_project/enumerate
59   ```
60
61* List sub-objects:
62   ```
63   $ curl -k -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" https://${bmc}/xyz/openbmc_project/
64   $ curl -k -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" https://${bmc}/xyz/openbmc_project/state/
65   ```
66
67* Host soft power off:
68   ```
69   $ curl -k -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"data": "xyz.openbmc_project.State.Host.Transition.Off"}' -X PUT https://${bmc}/xyz/openbmc_project/state/host0/attr/RequestedHostTransition
70   ```
71
72* Host hard power off:
73   ```
74   $ curl -k -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT -d '{"data":"xyz.openbmc_project.State.Chassis.Transition.Off"}' https://${bmc}//xyz/openbmc_project/state/chassis0/attr/RequestedPowerTransition

78   ```
79   $ curl -k -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"data": "xyz.openbmc_project.State.Host.Transition.On"}' -X PUT https://${bmc}/xyz/openbmc_project/state/host0/attr/RequestedHostTransition
80   ```
81
82* Reboot Host:
83   ```
84   $ curl -k -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT -d '{"data":"xyz.openbmc_project.State.Host.Transition.Reboot"}' https://${bmc}/xyz/openbmc_project/state/host0/attr/RequestedHostTransition
85   ```
86
87* Reboot BMC:
88   ```
89   $ curl -k -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT -d '{"data":"xyz.openbmc_project.State.BMC.Transition.Reboot"}' https://${bmc}/xyz/openbmc_project/state/bmc0/attr/RequestedBMCTransition
90   ```
91
92* Display logging entries:

134   ```
135
136* Set NTP and Nameserver:
137
138    Examples using public server.
139    - NTP Server:
140   ```
141   $ curl -k -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT -d '{"data": ["pool.ntp.org"] }' https://${bmc}/xyz/openbmc_project/network/eth0/attr/NTPServers
142   ```
143
144    - Name Server:
145   ```
146   $ curl -k -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT -d '{"data": ["time.google.com"] }' https://${bmc}/xyz/openbmc_project/network/eth0/attr/Nameservers
147   ```
148
149* Configure time ownership and time sync method:
150
151   The introduction about time setting is here:
152   https://github.com/openbmc/phosphor-time-manager
153
154   Note: Starting from OpenBMC 2.6 (with systemd v239), systemd's timedated introduces a new beahvior that it checks the NTP services' status during setting time, instead of checking the NTP setting:
155
156   -When NTP server is set to disabled, and the NTP service is stopping but not stopped, setting time will get an error.
157
158   Before OpenBMC 2.4 (with systemd v236), the above will always succeed.
159   This results in [openbmc/openbmc#3459](https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/issues/3459), and the related test cases are updated to cooperate with this behavior change.
160
161   * Read:
