JetBackup Management Console API Documentation

Introduction

JetBackup Management Console API accesses the JetBackup MC interface's features.
You can use this API to perform all the tasks you perform from the JetBackup MC GUI and more!
With JetBackup MC API you can manage and optimize backup Jobs within all your Servers.

Authentication

In order to communicate with the JetBackup MC server, you will need to create an API Access Token through Users section of the JetBackup MC or through Manage Access Token API Call.
After creating the API access token, you will need to pass it in the request header, for example:
curl -k -H "Authorization: Bearer testuser:9MKjw55we7TIq0CdpaHaiYHacB5hQOqp" "https://1.1.1.1:3031/API/manageServer/?_id=5b30da08d5ac5e06897b47e2&action=modify&name=JBServer1"

Basic usage

<?php
 $user = "USER";
 $token = "MYAPITOKEN";

 $query = "https://HOST_NAME:3031/API/";

 $params = [
    'function' => 'getServerCharts',
     '_id' => SERVER_ID,
 ];

 $curl = curl_init();
 curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
 curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
 curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

 $header = ["Authorization: Bearer $user:$token"];

 curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
 curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $query);
 curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($params));

 $result = curl_exec($curl);

 $http_status = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

 if ($http_status != 200) {
     echo "[!] Error: " . $http_status . " returned\n";
 } else {
     $json = json_decode($result);
     print_r($json);
 }

 curl_close($curl);
?>

#! /bin/bash
user=USER

header='Authorization: Bearer '$user':'$token

function='getServerCjarts/'

query='https://23.239.29.4:3031/API/'$function
