WOL from an external HTTP request

[dupuysylvain]

Hello,

I was wondering if it was possible to use an HTTP request to WOL one of the PCs ?

Thanks,
Dupuy Sylvain

Hey, yes it is possible. You can use /api/upsnap/wake/:id.
See the wiki here: https://github.com/seriousm4x/UpSnap/wiki/Rest-API#ive-extended-the-default-pocketbase-api

Make sure to authorize first and then send the token as bearer.

Amazing thanks for your quick response, should have checked the wiki

How do I authorize and/or send a token? Can't I just disable that somehow? I just want to use a link to start my PC in my local network.

Take a look at the wiki. You send a login request with your user and password as json body to either the admin or user route and get a bearer token back. You can use this token in the request header for all further requests.

Also explained in the wiki.

I saw the wiki, but my question is more about how to actually send that login request. If I understand correcty, I have to open localhost:8090/api/admins/auth-with-password, but even that request requires an authentification token. Could you answer in more details about what to do exactly? Thank you

1. Get the token like this

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"identity": "[email protected]", "password": "yourpassword"}' "http://localhost:8090/api/admins/auth-with-password"

Response:

{
  "admin": {
    "id": "k4idmnb7qq1lor7",
    "created": "2023-03-26 09:49:30.391Z",
    "updated": "2024-01-26 23:37:27.854Z",
    "avatar": 3,
    "email": "[email protected]"
  },
  "token": "YOUR-TOKEN"
}

2. Wake a device by id:

curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR-TOKEN" "http://localhost:8090/api/upsnap/wake/xbgv4vruficbf31"

Response:

{
  "collectionId": "z5lghx2r3tm45n1",
  "collectionName": "devices",
  "created": "2023-10-17 21:29:07.911Z",

  "name": "dummy",
  "netmask": "255.255.255.255",
  "password": "",
  "ping_cmd": "",
  "ports": [],
  "shutdown_cmd": "",
  "shutdown_confirm": false,
  "shutdown_cron": "",

}

Could you give an example of a simple wakeup request that can betriggered from a Windows machine from batch/ps (board tools)?
