API command for retrieving cellular signal

[Dustin_Betterly]

I’m trying to figure out which GET command to retrieve the WAN / Cellular signal strength. I’ve tried a few different ones listed in the api doc for 8.5 but none of the listed commands retrieve that info.

Any additional help is appreciated.

Hi…

Maybe this help you.

Incontrol 2 API cellular signal request

You can collect cellular signal data of today if you input today’s date. But the data is not collected from devices in real time. For live cellular signal info, you could call /rest/o/{organization_id}/g/{group_id}/d/{device_id} . You can look into each cellular WAN under the “interfaces” node in the returned JSON.

okay, but theres no way to do it with the device directly, it has to be done through incontrol?

Hi…

Looking here… I don’t find a solution… You are not the first that request this, directly to the device.

Peplink only provide solution, using IC2.

Maybe this will change with the next release of 8.5.x version?

[Dustin_Betterly]

okay, good to know.

i’m having zero luck with the incontrol API, not sure why but nothing is working. I’m also a bit new to this so its a bit challenging.

Guide on How to Begin Using InControl 2 API

The InControl 2 API opens up integrating our platform with your custom apps, website, or other third-party software. This can help you to monitor the devices or make reports in your own version. Requirement: To begin, you will have to obtain an OAuth 2.0 client ID. After you obtained a client ID, your client application should use it to request an authorization token from our authorization endpoints. It should then request and extract an access token from the response from our token endpoint, …

Using IC2 api
Create a ID and password at IC2

1. Login to InControl2
2. In any organization/network/device overview, on the top right hand corner, click on your login email address before the “Sign out” link, that would bring you to account setting page.
3. At the bottom of the page, there is a “Client Application” section, click on “New Client”
4. Enter the name and checked “Enable”, other fields can be leave blank, then click “Save”
5. Click on the application name that you just created, you should see “Client ID” and “Client Secret” at the bottom of the popup window

I download the sample script here. https://download.peplink.com/files/ic2/sample_ic2_api_client.sh

Edit the script and change the values of
client_id=" "
client_secret=" "

execute the script and works.
It is a simple sample, got from Peplink.

okay?

Thank you for this. I was able to make some progress over the weekend, but I’m still struggling with getting my refresh tokens to work. The short term token is a real problem (at least for me…) for hard coded programming. I’m working on the refresh token, but it’s giving me problems. I’m quite new to this stuff, so I’m trying to work through it.
