Xtream Codes v2 API Examples

Reverse Proxy on IPTV m3u file and Xtream Codes Server API

Hi People,  here some “maybe” usefull information about theXtream Codes v2 API Examples – didnt try it by myself You schould be able to use it against you XC v2 CMS server
Creating New Line

To create a New line, we will call the following URL.

http://dns:port/api.php?action=user&sub=create

The above URL, accepts the POST action, and to create a new line we will have to specify some arguments in an array called user_data

Example Code:

PHP:
<?php

$panel_url = 'http://DNS:PORT/';
$username = 'test_username';
$password = 'test_password';
$max_connections = 1;
$reseller = 1;
$bouquet_ids = array(
    1,
    2,
    3 );
$expire_date = strtotime( "+1 month" );

###############################################################################
$post_data = array( 'user_data' => array(
        'username' => $username,
        'password' => $password,
        'max_connections' => $max_connections,
        'is_restreamer' => $reseller,
        'exp_date' => $expire_date,
        'bouquet' => json_encode( $bouquet_ids ) ) );

$opts = array( 'http' => array(
        'method' => 'POST',
        'header' => 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
        'content' => http_build_query( $post_data ) ) );

$context = stream_context_create( $opts );
$api_result = json_decode( file_get_contents( $panel_url . "api.php?action=user&sub=create", false, $context ) );

?>

If you leave the username and/or password elements empty, the system will generate random characters for these 2 fields. In addition, leaving any field empty, api will use the default value for this field according to SQL Database. So theoretically, you can make a line with just Calling the Above URL, without any parameter, however the created user, wont have any bouquets inside.

You can call any other element that is in the database like

  • member_id
  • admin_enabled
  • enabled
  • allowed_ips
  • allowed_ua
  • force_server_id
  • is_isplock
  • admin_notes
  • and so on…

If you want to set the allowed_ips/allowed_ua since this is a JSON Encoded format you can do it like bouquet in the above Code.

The API will return a simple json encoded string that upon decoding will contain the element result which returns true/false.

Example(API Success)

JSON:
{"result":true,"created_id":14838,"username":"d4PSc5uCqF","password":"2ZiuRRZk4b"}

The API returned as the username/password of the NEW line, as well as the ID so we can use it wherever we want.

Example(API Failed)

JSON:
{"result":false,"error":"EXISTS"}
{"result":false,"error":"PARAMETER ERROR"}
  • EXISTS
    The Username you specified already exists in the database
  • PARAMETER ERROR
    You wrote invalid characters in your user_data array

Editing Line

To procedure to edit a line is very similar to the above. The URL we will call this time is

http://dns:port/api.php?action=user&sub=edit

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

  • username
  • password

OPTIONAL PARAMETERS

  • user_data array

For example if we want to Edit the Expire Date, make the line restreamer and adjusting the max connections to 10 we will do it like this:

PHP:
<?php

$panel_url = 'http://DNS:PORT/';
$username = 'test_username';
$password = 'test_password';
$max_connections = 10;
$reseller = 1;
$expire_date = strtotime( "+1 month" ); //from the time now, not from line's expire date.

###############################################################################
$post_data = array(
    'username' => $username,
    'password' => $password,
    'user_data' => array(
        'max_connections' => $max_connections,
        'is_restreamer' => $reseller,
        'exp_date' => $expire_date ) );

$opts = array( 'http' => array(
        'method' => 'POST',
        'header' => 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
        'content' => http_build_query( $post_data ) ) );

$context = stream_context_create( $opts );
$api_result = json_decode( file_get_contents( $panel_url . "api.php?action=user&sub=edit", false, $context ) );

?>

In the above example, we will edit the max_connectionsis_restreamer and exp_date for our line with username test_username, and password test_password that already exists in our database.

Example(API Success)

JSON:
{"result":true}

Example(API Failed)

JSON:
{"result":false,"error":"NOT EXISTS"}
{"result":false,"error":"PARAMETER ERROR"}
{"result":false,"error":"PARAMETER ERROR (user\/pass)"}
  • NOT EXISTS
    The Username / Password you specified are not exists in the database
  • PARAMETER ERROR
    You wrote invalid characters in your user_data array
  • PARAMETER ERROR (user/pass)
    The Username OR/AND Password elements are missing

View Line Information

With this API call, we will get all the information available about our line including the active connections.

The URL we will call this time is

http://dns:port/api.php?action=user&sub=info

REQUIRED PARAMETERS

  • username
  • password

It will return a JSON Encoded string, with all information that you might want.

Example Code:

PHP:
$panel_url = 'http://DNS:PORT/';
$username = "username";
$password = "passwrd";


###############################################################################
$post_data = array( 'username' => $username, 'password' => $password );
$opts = array( 'http' => array(
        'method' => 'POST',
        'header' => 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
        'content' => http_build_query( $post_data ) ) );

$context = stream_context_create( $opts );
$api_result = json_decode( file_get_contents( $panel_url . "api.php?action=user&sub=info", false, $context ), true );

if ( $api_result['result'] )
{
    echo "Active Connections (Now): " . $api_result['user_info']['active_cons'];
    echo "\nCurrent Expire Date: " . (( empty( $api_result['user_info']['exp_date'] ) ) ? 'Unlimited' : strtotime( $api_result['user_info']['exp_date'] ));
    echo "\nMax Connections: " . $api_result['user_info']['max_connections'];
    echo "\nAvailable Channel IDs: " . implode( ',', $api_result['user_info']['channel_ids'] );
}
else
    echo 'FAILED';

Create/Edit & View Information on MAG Devices

The procedure is almost the same as creating/editing & view info on a user line. The only difference is that instead of calling the user action, we will the stb action. Of course instead of username/password we will just have the mac parameter.
