Proxmox Api

Typescript Api to manage proxmox servers.

• API Viewer
• API Docs

Mapping 100% of available calls, contains all api documentation in typing file. code size < 10Ko including docs

Usage

Overview

to use this API take the Path you want to call, and replace:

• the / by .
• the ${variable} by .(variable)
• append the http method you want to call with a $ at the end (.$get(), .$post(), .$put() or .$delete())

that it.

Example

To call GET /cluster/acme/account/{name} you will call proxmox.cluster.acme.account.$(name).$get()

To call GET /api2/json/cluster/backup/{id}/included_volumes you will call proxmox.cluster.backup.{id}.included_volumes.$get()

To call GET /api2/json/nodes you will call proxmox.nodes.$get()

The provided typing will assist you within intelisense, so you do not need to read any external doc.

Code sample

• an hotplug usb service based on this API.

npm install proxmox-api

import proxmoxApi from "proxmox-api";

// authorize self signed cert if you do not use a valid SSL certificat
process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = "0";

async function test() {
    // connect to proxmox
    const proxmox = proxmoxApi({host: '127.0.0.1', password: 'password', username: 'user1@pam'});
    // list nodes
    const nodes = await proxmox.nodes.$get();
    // iterate cluster nodes
    for (const node of nodes) {
        const theNode = proxmox.nodes.$(node.node);
        // list Qemu VMS
        const qemus = await theNode.qemu.$get({full:true});
        // iterate Qemu VMS
        for (const qemu of qemus) {
            // do some suff.
            const config = await theNode.qemu.$(qemu.vmid).config.$get();
            console.log(`vm: ${config.name}, memory: ${config.memory}`);
            // const vnc = await theNode.qemu.$(qemu.vmid).vncproxy.$post();
            // console.log('vnc:', vnc);
            // const spice = await theNode.qemu.$(qemu.vmid).spiceproxy.$post();
            // console.log('spice:', spice);
        }
    }    
}

test().catch(console.error);

Initialisation alternavives:

• keeping access to ProxmoxEngine object (that can be use to share a ticket, or to access it)

import proxmoxApi, { ProxmoxEngine } from "proxmox-api";

process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = "0";

async function test() {
    // connect to proxmox
    const engine = new ProxmoxEngine({host: '127.0.0.1', password: 'password', username: 'user1@pam'});
    const proxmox = proxmoxApi(engine);
}

• Using Api token

import proxmoxApi from "proxmox-api";

process.env.NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED = "0";

async function test() {
    // connect to proxmox
    const proxmox = proxmoxApi({host: '127.0.0.1', tokenID: 'USER@REALM!TOKENID', tokenSecret: '12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567890ab'});
}

Notes

• if the call path contains a hyphen, you will need to use the ['field'] syntax ex:

await theNode.qemu.$(vmid).agent['get-fsinfo'].$get()
