dialog-router-api v0.0.3

huawei-router-api

A wrapper to connect with and query the API on the Huawei 4G routers (notably the Huawei B315) and any other supporting models.

Installation

npm install dialog-router-api --save

Notes

I was messing about with the web-admin panel of the router and found that it was merely a client side web-page/site that communicates with a backend API via AJAX requests.

There's a lot more to the router's API than just the ones I've been able to provide here, Some of the functions of API require you to login, and currently this doesn't seem to work at all with mine, even with the offical Huawei Android App. (router is locked down by Dialog? Different firmware?) thanks to Rolf Sormo for his implementation of the login feature, it seems to work.

Thanks to Henrik S Pedersen and Hacker Ramblings for posting their findings on the internet.

Usage

  var router = require('dialog-router-api').create({
    gateway: '192.168.8.1'
    // The IP address of your router, can be found by doing
    // ipconfig on windows or netstat -r on linux (right under 'Gateway')
  });

  router.getToken(function(error, token) {
    router.getBasicSettings(token, function(error, response){
      console.log(response);
    });
  });

API

getToken(error, token)

Responds with a token and a cookie used by the following methods to authenticate and communicate with the API.

{ cookies: 'SessionID=nOintv3yIw1utMbHCcZh063IcJKtcV4rVAoSBDNTc+NJIixBN7ukOg8MSaGf+Fck2uiBmmozJ5go63Hs8/wm44ySCrluICP6rsmzVvFzJHXFmrMm4NV0fi8NmJk+QVHY',

}

login(token, username, password, callback)

Logins in to the router with the provided credentials.

getMonthStatistics(token, callback)

Responds with the monthly statistics (as shown on the admin dashboard of the router).

Tests

HUAWEI_GW_IP=192.168.8.1 HUAWEI_GW_PASSWORD=abc123 HUAWEI_GW_USERNAME=admin npm test

You most likely need to set your device IP and the admin credentials on the command-line like in this example.
