Yealink Rest API

5 minute read

Description:

Yealink is a Voip Phone manufacturer that my organization uses. The following is a guide on how to use Postman or Powershell to add a device to their management console.

To Resolve:

  1. Example, to use GET in Postman to get a device’s details

    • In Postman, in the top right corner is the environment section
    • Create yourself a new environment for the Yealink Device Manager, and add the AccessKeyID and AccessKeySecret.
    • Next, in the GET request, fill in the following pre-request script but change the 'id=exampleID' to an ID from a phone in that you can get in the URL of the web GUI for an individual device:
    1

    21
    22
    23
    24
    25
    26
    27
    
    // Get key/secret
    var MyKey = pm.environment.get('AccessKeyID');
    var MySecret = pm.environment.get('AccessKeySecret');
    
    // Set API URI variable
    var myURI = 'api/open/v1/manager/device/getDetail'
    
    // Generate UUID
    var uuid = require('uuid');
    var MyGUID = uuid().replace(/-/g,'');
    pm.environment.set('MyGUID', MyGUID);
    
    // Get unix timestamp in ms
    var curDate = Date.now();
    pm.environment.set("MyTimestamp", curDate);
    
    // Generate string for signing
    var mySigString = 'GET\n' + 
       'X-Ca-Key:' + MyKey + '\n' +
       'X-Ca-Nonce:' + MyGUID + '\n' +
       'X-Ca-Timestamp:' + curDate + '\n' +
       myURI + '\n' +
       'id=exampleID';
    
    var hash = CryptoJS.HmacSHA256( mySigString, MySecret);
    var hashInB64 = CryptoJS.enc.Base64.stringify(hash);
    pm.environment.set('MySig', hashInB64);
    
    • Now, select the drop down on the top right as whatever environment name you gave in step 1 and choose the environment.

    • Next go to the Headers tab and add the following:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    
    X-Ca-Key: 
    X-Ca-Nonce: 
    X-CA-Signature: 
    X-Ca-Timestamp: 
    Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
    
    • Now, place in a GET api link and hit send. For example: ‘https://api-dm.yealink.com:8445/api/open/v1/manager/device/getDetail?id=exampleID’

    • This returns:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    
    {
       "ret": 1,
       "data": "[{(lots of info)"}]}]",
       "error": null
    }
    
    • Success!

    ## Setup Variables
    $baseUri = 'https://api-dm.yealink.com:8445/'
    $accessKeyId = 'Key'
    $accessKeySecret = 'SECRET'
    
    $epochStart = New-Object DateTime 1970,1,1,0,0,0,([DateTimeKind]::Utc)
    
    $deviceId = 'exampleID'
    $apiUri = 'api/open/v1/manager/device/getDetail'
    
    # Generate GUID
    $guid = [GUID]::NewGuid().ToString().Replace('-','')
    
    # Get milliseconds since epoch
    $timeStamp = [int64](([DateTime]::UtcNow) - $epochStart).TotalMilliseconds
    
    # Build Headers hashtable
    $headers = @{}
    $headers.Add('X-Ca-Key', $accessKeyId)
    $headers.Add('X-Ca-Nonce', $guid)
    $headers.Add('X-Ca-Timestamp',$timeStamp)
    
    # Build parameters array
    $params = @()
    $params += 'id=' + $deviceId
    
    # Convert headers hashtable into array (sig requires array, invoke-restmethod requires hashtable)
    $headerArray = @()
    foreach($key in $headers.keys) {
       $headerArray += "{0}:{1}" -f $key, $headers[$key]
    }
    
    # Build out string for signing. Values need to be sorted
    $strToSign = "GET`n"
    $strToSign += $(($headerArray | Sort-Object )-join "`n") + "`n"
    $strToSign += $apiUri + "`n"
    $strToSign += $(($params | Sort-Object) -join "`n")
    
    # Build out HMACSHA256 Signature
    $hmacsha = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA256
    $hmacsha.key = [Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($accessKeySecret)
    $signature = $hmacsha.ComputeHash([Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($strToSign))
    $signature = [Convert]::ToBase64String($signature)
    
    # Add signature to headers hashtable
    $headers.Add('X-Ca-Signature', $signature)
    
    # Build out URI to call, including parameters #
    $uri = $baseUri + $apiUri + '?' + $($params -join '&')
    
    # Execute REST call
    $res = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Headers $headers -ContentType 'application/json;charset=UTF-8' -Method Get
    
  3. Example, to use POST in Postman to add a device

    • Using the same environment from above (with the access key and secret key)
    • Go to the pre-request script and paste in (without changing anything):
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7

    26
    27
    28
    29
    30
    31
    32
    
    // Get key/secret
    var MyKey = pm.environment.get('AccessKeyID');
    var MySecret = pm.environment.get('AccessKeySecret');
    
    // Set API URI variable
    var myURI = 'api/open/v1/manager/device/add'
    
    // Generate UUID
    var uuid = require('uuid');
    var MyGUID = uuid().replace(/-/g,'');
    pm.environment.set('MyGUID', MyGUID);
    
    // Get unix timestamp in ms
    var curDate = Date.now();
    pm.environment.set("MyTimestamp", curDate);
    
    // Generate Content MD5
    var myBody = pm.request.body.raw;
    var ContentMD5 = CryptoJS.enc.Base64.stringify( CryptoJS.MD5(myBody) );
    pm.environment.set('ContentMD5',ContentMD5);
    
    // Generate string for signing
    var mySigString = 'POST\n' + 
       'Content-MD5:' + ContentMD5 + '\n' +
       'X-Ca-Key:' + MyKey + '\n' +
       'X-Ca-Nonce:' + MyGUID + '\n' +
       'X-Ca-Timestamp:' + curDate + '\n' +
       myURI;
    
    var hash = CryptoJS.HmacSHA256( mySigString, MySecret);
    var hashInB64 = CryptoJS.enc.Base64.stringify(hash);
    pm.environment.set('MySig', hashInB64);
    
    • Now in the body, put in information that is required:
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    
    {
       "mac": "12345",
       "machineId": "12345",
       "modelId": "12345",
       "phone": "Test",
       "regionId": "12345"
    }
    
    • Lastly, put the following headers:
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    
    Content-MD5: 
    X-Ca-Key: 
    X-Ca-Nonce: 
    X-CA-Signature: 
    X-Ca-Timestamp: 
    Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8
