## UniFi Controller API client class

A PHP class that provides access to Ubiquiti's [**UniFi Network Controller**](https://unifi-network.ui.com/) API, versions 4.X.X, 5.X.X and 6.0.X of the UniFi Network Controller software are supported (version 6.0.43 has been confirmed to work) as well as UniFi OS-based controllers (version 5.12.59 has been confirmed to work). This class is used by our API browser tool which can be found [here](https://github.com/Art-of-WiFi/UniFi-API-browser).

The package can be installed manually or by using composer/[packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/art-of-wifi/unifi-api-client) for easy inclusion in your projects.

## Requirements

- a server with PHP, version 5.5.0 or higher, and the PHP cURL module installed (tested on Apache 2.4 with PHP Version 5.6.1 and cURL 7.42.1 and with PHP 7.2.24 and cURL 7.58.0)
- direct network connectivity between this server and the host and port (normally TCP port 8443) where the UniFi Controller is running
- a server with PHP, version 5.5.0 or higher, and the PHP cURL module installed (tested on Apache 2.4 with PHP Version
5.6.1 and cURL 7.42.1 and with PHP 7.2.24 and cURL 7.58.0)
- direct network connectivity between this server and the host and port (normally TCP port 8443) where the UniFi
Controller is running
- you must use **local accounts**, not UniFi Cloud accounts, to access the UniFi Controller API through this class


## UniFi OS Support

Support for UniFi OS-based controllers (UniFi Dream Machine Pro or Cloud Key Gen2/Cloud Key Gen2 Plus with firmware version 2.0.24 or higher) has been added as of version 1.1.47. The class automatically detects UniFi OS devices and adjusts URLs and several functions/methods accordingly. If your own code applies strict validation of the URL that is passed to the constructor, please adapt your logic to allow URLs without a port suffix when dealing with a UniFi OS-based controller.

Please test all methods you plan on using thoroughly before using the API Client with UniFi OS devices in a production environment.

#### IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. In the above example, `$site_id` is the short site "name" (usually 8 characters long) that is visible in the URL when managing the site in the UniFi Network Controller. For example with this URL:

managing the site in the UniFi Network Controller. For example with this URL:

`https://<controller IP address or FQDN>:8443/manage/site/jl3z2shm/dashboard`

`jl3z2shm` is the short site "name" and the value to assign to $site_id.

2. The last optional parameter that is passed to the constructor in the above example (`true`), enables validation of the controller's SSL certificate which is otherwise **disabled** by default. It is **highly recommended** to enable this feature in production environments where you have a valid SSL cert installed on the UniFi Controller that is associated with the FQDN in the `controller_url` parameter. This option was added with API client version 1.1.16.
