07 HTTP API

Version 24.1 by Devin Chen on 2025/04/10 13:52

General

This documents introduces WECON V-BOX HTTP API. And this document also shows some examples. All example is tested from postman application.

Transport protocol: HTTP protocol

Server address:

China:

http://api.v-box.net

Asean:

http://api.asean.v-box.net

Europe:

http://api.eu.v-box.net

For ASEAN server V-BOX, now can use http, the server address is api.asean.v-box.net.

The common KEY is:

comid=2

comkey=589625dce895454dbff9782c299db156

screctkey=f1cd9351930d4e589922edbcf3b09a7c

For EU server V-BOX, now can use http, the server address is api.eu.v-box.net.

The common KEY is:

comid=100

comkey=8919244ff15d441bae4b944b112a33ea

screctkey=f1cd9351930d4e589922edbcf3b09a7c

✎Note: If it is for Virtual Deployment, the comid and comkey would not be the same with values above. Try to get the actual value from HTTP access (V-NET--Services--HTTP access)

Interface Parameter Description

Global parameters

The following acturls need to have global parameters (The global parameter client is put into the JSON format and placed in the common parameters of the Headers)

The returned result represented by Json and case sensitive:

1).Abnormal

{"code" : 403, "msg" : "SessionID (user session ID) invalid", "reqId": "1502074141465"}

2).Normal

{"code" : 200 , "result": {}, "msg" : "ok", "reqId":"1502074141465"}

Status Code

Example key and value

1).comid=2

2).comkey=589625dce895454dbff9782c299db156

3).screctkey=f1cd9351930d4e589922edbcf3b09a7c

4).ts=1573897380

Basic API

Login operation

2.1.1 Parameters

Acturl	we-data/login
Function	Login with username, email, phone number
Parameters	Items	Description
	alias	Must be username, registered email will fail to login
	password	32bit password (MD5 encryption)
	domain(Optional)	3rd party interface domain(Only available for Virtual Deployment)
Return value	Items	Description
	utype	User Type: 1-Manage Account, 2-Viewer Account
	sid	User session ID (Only available for 12 hours)

Operating procedures

Setp1: Set http: http://api.v-box.net/box-data/api/we-data/login

Setp2: Set parameters on Params

alias: weconuser

password: 599a3c736c04e196c58a29f43778f7ea(The md5 encryption result of Wecon159)

Step3: Get sign

alias=weconuser&comid=2&compvtkey=589625dce895454dbff9782c299db156&password=599a3c736c04e196c58a29f43778f7ea&ts=1573897380&key=f1cd9351930d4e589922edbcf3b09a7c

Put the whole string above encrypted by MD5, so will get the value of "sign"

"sign":"997513ff1320862f0cbb9ce19d0bd253"

✎Note: For Virtual Deployment, the sign string should be append with domain, so the format would be like following:

alias=xxx&comid=xxx&compvtkey=xxx&domain=xxx&password=xxx&ts=1657682972386&key=f1cd9351930d4e589922edbcf3b09a7c

The timestamp must be unit as Millisecond level

Step4: Set common of header

{"comid":"2","compvtkey":"589625dce895454dbff9782c299db156","ts":"1573897380","sign":"997513ff1320862f0cbb9ce19d0bd253"}

Get device state

Parameters

acturl	we-data/getDeviceState
Function	Get vbox state based on machine code
Parameters	Parameter	Description
	machineCode	machineCode(required)
Return value	Field name	Description
	state	vbox state: 1-online, 0-offline

Send switch to device

3.10.1 Parameters

acturl	we-data/sendSwitchToDevice
Function	Enable vbox reports real-time data, because now the vbox has added a real-time data switch function, only in the real-time data page vbox will report real-time data, otherwise it will not be reported. So if you need to keep to get real-time data, you need to call this interface first, and call it every 20 seconds, so that the vbox will continue to report real-time data.
Parameters	Parameter	Description
	boxId	boxId(required)
Return value	Field name	Description
