How to use NetLimiter API in Python?

I want to incorporate NetLimiter into my Python program using NetLimiter API. But I haven't found any docs about the API. I have found this link only which doesn't provide any sample program or docs on how to use it.

Does anyone know how to use NetLimiter API in python?

Solution

  • For that you need to install netifaces library in python,

    Here is the damo i have made

    import netifaces
import requests

ip_address = netifaces.ifaddresses('eth0')[netifaces.AF_INET][0]['addr']

#Get the IP address of the machine where NetLimiter is installed and port
 
api_url = f'http://{your_ip_address}:8282/nlapi/v1/'


def send_request(method, endpoint, data=None):
    url = api_url + endpoint
    headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
    response = requests.request(method, url, headers=headers, json=data)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        return response.json()
    else:
        raise Exception(response.text)
enter code here

rules = send_request('GET', 'rules')
print(rules)



rule_data = {
    'name': 'My Rule',
    'direction': 'In',
    'protocol': 'TCP',
    'remoteAddress': '192.168.1.1',
    'remotePort': '80',
    'limit': 1024
}
response = send_request('POST', 'rules', rule_data)
print(response)
