Examples | Mikrotik Api
If you have a you want to automate, such as managing hotspot users or configuring queues, let me know. I can provide the exact payload and script you need to get it done.
// Update user password (PATCH) $api->patch('/rest/ip/hotspot/user/*1', ['password' => 'new-secret']);
api(cmd='/ip/firewall/filter/enable', numbers='*1')
Install: pip install librouteros
import requests import json url = "https://192.168.88" headers = "Content-Type": "application/json" payload = "chain": "forward", "action": "drop", "src-address": "192.168.88.100", "comment": "Blocked by API" response = requests.put(url, auth=('apiuser', 'strongpassword'), headers=headers, data=json.dumps(payload), verify=False) print(response.status_code) print(response.text) Use code with caution. 4. Practical Automation Scenarios A. Monitor Interface Traffic
// List all interfaces const interfaces = await client.interface.print(); for (const iface of interfaces) console.log( $iface.name: $iface.running ? 'Running' : 'Down' );
<?php // In config/app.php 'providers' => [ RouterOS\Laravel\ServiceProvider::class, ], mikrotik api examples
$client = new Client($config);
POST https://router/rest/interface/vlan "name": "vlan10", "vlan-id": 10, "interface": "ether1" Use code with caution. Copied to clipboard Source: MikroTik REST API Documentation

Useful API Paths for Automation
For quick testing and scripting, cURL provides the simplest way to interact with the REST API.
