Custom API in REST/JSON

Installing and Using OpenWrt

Hello,
Do you have a solution to make some custom API in REST/JSON for example ?

I would like to make some methodes to :

  • get wireless status
  • list connected devices
  • ...

I did some sh scripts but i would prefer some http requests without password, in order to call then every minutes from another system.

Do you have some examples about this ?
Which language should i use ?

Thanks
Jey

ubus call hostapd.wlan0 get_clients

A way could be ti write some custom services.

Do you think that we can encapsulate ubus calls in a script ?
And have a call like:
