The following examples illustrate LMv1 Authentication for LogicMonitor REST API v1.

NOTE: These examples are provided for illustration purposes. Before you use them, you may need to edit parameters for your implementation.

Python 2.7 Examples

Example 1: POST

The following script illustrates LMv1 Authentication for a POST request in Python version 2.7. Specifically, the following request adds a service to the account apiAccount.logicmonitor.com:

#!/bin/env python

import requests
import json
import hashlib
import base64
import time
import hmac

#Account Info
AccessId ='API-ACCESS-ID'
AccessKey ='API-ACCESS-KEY'
Company = 'apiAccount'

#Request Info: Add a service
httpVerb ='POST'
resourcePath = '/service/services'
data = '{"type":"ping","name":"LMCertification","disableAlerting":false,"pollingInterval":5,"host":"www.logicmonitor.docebosaas.com"}'

#Construct URL 
url = 'https://'+ Company +'.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest' + resourcePath

#Get current time in milliseconds
epoch = str(int(time.time() * 1000))

#Concatenate Request details
requestVars = httpVerb + epoch + data + resourcePath

#Construct signature
signature = base64.b64encode(hmac.new(AccessKey,msg=requestVars,digestmod=hashlib.sha256).hexdigest())

#Construct headers
auth = 'LMv1 ' + AccessId + ':' + signature + ':' + epoch
headers = {'Content-Type':'application/json','Authorization':auth}

#Make request
response = requests.post(url, data=data, headers=headers)

#Print status and body of response
print 'Response Status:',response.status_code
print 'Response Body:',response.content

Example 2: GET

The following script illustrates LMv1 Authentication for a GET request in Python version 2.7. Specifically, the following request gets details for all services in apiAccount.logicmonitor.com:

#!/bin/env python

import requests
import json
import hashlib
import base64
import time
import hmac

#Account Info
AccessId ='API-ACCESS-ID'
AccessKey ='API-ACCESS-KEY'
Company = 'apiAccount'

#Request Info: Get Services
httpVerb ='GET'
resourcePath = '/service/services'
queryParams = '?filter=name~QA'

#Construct URL 
url = 'https://'+ Company +'.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest' + resourcePath + queryParams

#Get current time in milliseconds
epoch = str(int(time.time() * 1000))

#Concatenate Request details
requestVars = httpVerb + epoch + resourcePath

#Construct signature
signature = base64.b64encode(hmac.new(AccessKey,msg=requestVars,digestmod=hashlib.sha256).hexdigest())

#Construct headers
auth = 'LMv1 ' + AccessId + ':' + signature + ':' + epoch
headers = {'Content-Type':'application/json','Authorization':auth}

#Make request
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

#Print status and body of response
print 'Response Status:',response.status_code
print 'Response Body:',response.content

Python 3 Examples

Example 1: GET

The following script illustrates LMv1 Authentication for a GET request in Python version 3.5. Specifically, the following request gets details for all devices in apiAccount.logicmonitor.com:

#!/bin/env python

import requests
import json
import hashlib
import base64
import time
import hmac
import getpass

#Account Info: LogicMonitor recommends to NEVER hardcode the credentials. Instead, retrieve the values from a secure storage.
#Note: The below is provided for illustration purposes only.
AccessId = getpass.getpass("Enter your AccessId: ")
AccessKey = getpass.getpass("Enter your AccessKey: ")
Company = 'apiAccount' 

#Request Info
httpVerb ='GET'
resourcePath = '/device/devices'
queryParams =''
data = ''

#Construct URL 
url = 'https://'+ Company +'.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest' + resourcePath +queryParams

#Get current time in milliseconds
epoch =str(int(time.time() * 1000))

#Concatenate Request details
requestVars = httpVerb + epoch + data + resourcePath

#Construct signature
digest = hmac.new(
        AccessKey.encode('utf-8'),
        msg=requestVars.encode('utf-8'),
        digestmod=hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
signature = base64.b64encode(digest.encode('utf-8')).decode('utf-8')

# Construct headers
auth = 'LMv1 ' + AccessId + ':' + str(signature) + ':' + epoch 
headers = {'Content-Type':'application/json','Authorization':auth}

#Make request
response = requests.get(url, data=data, headers=headers)

#Print status and body of response
print ('Response Status:',response.status_code)
print ('Response Body:',response.content)

PHP Examples

Example 1: POST

The following PHP script adds an alert rule to account api.logicmonitor.com:

<?php
$accessID = 'your-access-id';
$accessKEY = 'your-access-key';
$resourcePath = "/setting/alert/rules";
$url = "https://api.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest$resourcePath";
$epoch = round(microtime(true) * 1000);
$httpVerb = "POST";
 
$data = array
(
	"name" => "test alert rule",
	"priority" => 100,
	"datasource" => "*",
	"instance" => "*",
	"datapoint" => "*",
	"escalationInterval" => 15,
	"escalatingChainId" => 1
);

$data_string = json_encode($data, true);
$requestVars = $httpVerb . $epoch . $data_string . $resourcePath;
print "REQUESTVARS: $requestVars\n\n";
 
//Generate Signature
$sig = base64_encode(hash_hmac('sha256', $requestVars, $accessKEY));
print "SIGNATURE: $sig\n\n";
 
//Setup headers
$auth = 'LMv1 '.$accessID.':'.$sig.':'.$epoch;
print "AUTH: $auth\n\n";
 
$headers = array('Content-Type: application/json',
 'Authorization: '.$auth
);
 
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
 
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
 
print_r($result);
 
?>

Node.js Examples

Example 1: GET

The following Node.js script gets the name and id of all devices with “prod” in the name from account api.logicmonitor.com:

// Account Info
var accessId = 'your-access-id';
var accessKey = 'your-access-key';
var company = 'api'

// Request Details
var httpVerb = "GET";
var epoch = (new Date).getTime();
var resourcePath = "/device/devices";

// Construct signature 
var requestVars = httpVerb + epoch + resourcePath;
var crypto = require("crypto");
var hex = crypto.createHmac("sha256", accessKey).update(requestVars).digest("hex");
var signature = new Buffer(hex).toString('base64');
  
// Construct auth header
var auth = "LMv1 " + accessId + ":" + signature + ":" + epoch;
// Configure request options 
var request = require('request');
var options = 
    {
      "method" : httpVerb,
			"uri" : "https://" + company + ".logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest" + resourcePath,
			"headers": {
			    'ContentType' : 'application/json',
			    'Authorization': auth
			  },
			"qs": {
				   'fields': 'id,name',
				   'filter': 'name~ip'
				  }	
    };

// Make request
request(options, function (error, response, body) {
		if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
		   // Print out the response body
		   console.log(body)
		 }
	 });

cURL Request

To use a cURL command or other one line request against the REST API v1, you will need to run the command in the following format:

python scriptName.py --id  --key  --method  --url  --data [Request Payload]

An example script may be:

#!/bin/env python

import requests
import json
import hashlib
import base64
import time
import hmac
import sys, getopt
from urlparse import parse_qs, urlparse

#Start with empty Account Details and populate based on arguments provided
AccessId = ''
AccessKey = ''
httpVerb = ''
url = ''
data = ''

try:
      opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:],"",["id=","key=","method=", "url=","data"])
except getopt.GetoptError:
      print 'Usage: python curl.py --id [Token Access Id] --key [Token Access Key] --method [HTTP Method] --url [Request URL] --data [Request Payload]'
      sys.exit(2)
for opt, arg in opts:
    if opt == "--id":
        AccessId = arg
    elif opt == "--key":
        AccessKey = arg
    elif opt == "--method":
        httpVerb = arg
    elif opt == "--url":
        url = arg
    elif opt == "--data":
        data = arg

#Construct resourcePath and remove /santaba/rest
resourcePath = urlparse(url).path

resourcePath = resourcePath[13:]

#Get current time in milliseconds
epoch = str(int(time.time() * 1000))

#Concatenate Request details
requestVars = httpVerb + epoch + data + resourcePath

#Construct signature
signature = base64.b64encode(hmac.new(AccessKey,msg=requestVars,digestmod=hashlib.sha256).hexdigest())

#Construct headers
auth = 'LMv1 ' + AccessId + ':' + signature + ':' + epoch
headers = {'Content-Type':'application/json','Authorization':auth}

#Make request
response = getattr(requests, httpVerb.lower())(url, data=data, headers=headers)

#Print status and body of response
print 'Response Status:',response.status_code
print 'Response Body:',response.content

sys.exit(2)

The following command can be run from a terminal and uses the above script to retrieve all services in api.logicmonitor.com:

python curl.py --id 'ACCESS-ID' --key 'ACCESS-KEY' --method 'GET' --url 'https://api.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest/service/services'
