It connects to a Unifi Controller, given a url, username and password. Returns an authenticated http Client you may use to query the device for data. Also contains some built-in methods for de-serializing common client and device data. The data is provided in a large struct you can consume in your application.

This library is designed to PULL data FROM the controller. It has no methods that update settings or change things on the controller. Someone expressed interest in adding methods to update data, and I'm okay with that. I'll even help add them. Tell me what you want to do, and we'll make it happen.

Pull requests, feature requests, code reviews and feedback are welcomed!

Here's a working example:

package main

import "log"
import "github.com/unpoller/unifi/v5"

func main() {
	c := *unifi.Config{
		User: "admin",
		Pass: "superSecret1234",
		URL:  "https://127.0.0.1:8443/",
		// Log with log.Printf or make your own interface that accepts (msg, fmt)
		ErrorLog: log.Printf,
		DebugLog: log.Printf,
	}
	uni, err := unifi.NewUnifi(c)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln("Error:", err)
	}

	sites, err := uni.GetSites()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln("Error:", err)
	}
	clients, err := uni.GetClients(sites)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln("Error:", err)
	}
	devices, err := uni.GetDevices(sites)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln("Error:", err)
	}

	log.Println(len(sites), "Unifi Sites Found: ", sites)
	log.Println(len(clients), "Clients connected:")
	for i, client := range clients {
		log.Println(i+1, client.ID, client.Hostname, client.IP, client.Name, client.LastSeen)
	}

	log.Println(len(devices.USWs), "Unifi Switches Found")
	log.Println(len(devices.USGs), "Unifi Gateways Found")

	log.Println(len(devices.UAPs), "Unifi Wireless APs Found:")
	for i, uap := range devices.UAPs {
		log.Println(i+1, uap.Name, uap.IP)
	}
}

The main CLI (in main/) supports a discover mode that probes known API endpoints on your controller and writes a shareable report. Use the same credentials you use with unpoller (from your config file or env).

With a config file (JSON with url, user, pass; optional api_key):

go run ./main --discover --config /path/to/unifi-config.json --output api_endpoints_discovery.md

With environment variables (same as unpoller: GOLIFT_UNIFI_URL, GOLIFT_UNIFI_USER, GOLIFT_UNIFI_PASS):

export GOLIFT_UNIFI_URL=https://192.168.1.1:8443
export GOLIFT_UNIFI_USER=admin
export GOLIFT_UNIFI_PASS=yourpassword
go run ./main --discover --output api_endpoints_discovery.md

The report lists each endpoint and its HTTP status (200, 404, etc.). Share the generated file with maintainers when reporting API or 404 issues (e.g. unpoller#935).
