get mobile data usage through restapi

[AliasNameless]

Hi all, I need to get mobile data usage through rest api (for my openhab server). There are two ways to get the limits. Router's counter and  ussd command. The second way is more preferable, because the provider's data is slightly different from the router's counter.

Is there any way to log this data touch restapi?

Yes, it is possible. To send a USSD request via REST API, you need to perform the following actions:

1. send a POST request to <keenetic_ip_or_domain>/rci/ussd/send with a JSON body specifying the interface and the request, for example:

{
  "interface": "UsbLte0",
  "request": "*100#"
}

2. you will get a JSON response object
    if it contains “continued”: true, you need to send a GET request to the same endpoint (<keenetic_ip_or_domain>/rci/ussd/send)
    if not, you should receive either JSON containing the response to your USSD request or JSON with an error message
    

3. if the GET request response contains “continued”: true, repeat this action again (it makes sense to wait before sending the next request, e.g. 1 second)
    if not, you should receive either JSON containing the response to your USSD request or JSON with an error message

 

A few extra notes:

- you need to be authorized on the Keenetic to send the requests;
   the auth process is described here (in Russian): https://forum.keenetic.ru/topic/5461-не-работает-digest-авторизация-для-rci/#findComment-62946
   preserve session cookies while sending follow-up GET requests

- don't forget to set the Content-Type HTTP header for your requests (Content-Type: application/json)

- you can see how the web UI handles USSD requests using WebCLI:
