Introduction

The purpose of this document is to provide instructions to apply API (Application Programming Interface) connection to GYTPOL server from a third-party tools.

Overview

Gytpol API v1.0 covers the following use cases:

• Getting misconfigurations for a given computer

• Getting misconfigurations for all computers

• Getting the list of all computers that had misconfigurations

These use cases are addressed accordingly by the following REST API functions:

• get_miscon_by_computer

• get_misconfigurations_start to set a filter and get a token for following calls to get_misconfigurations_next

• get_miscon_computers_start to set a filter and get a token for following calls to get_miscon_computers_next

• add_to_group - to add computers to your custom group

All methods are POST.

API Keys

All HTTPS requests for REST API functions must include the x-api-key parameter in the request header, as illustrated in the examples below.

On-Prem Customers:

To generate an API key in the GYTPOL UI, navigate to the gear icon > Settings > GYTPOL API Keys. To create a new key, click the + (Plus) icon and assign a name that corresponds to the system. The key will expire after 1 year by default.

SaaS customers are advised to reach out to their customer success manager to obtain the necessary x-api-key.

API Port

For On-Prem customers, the default port for API access is 9191. If you wish to use a different port, you can make the adjustment by modifying the port in the file located at c:\gytpol\data\webserv_config.json.

After changing the port, be sure to restart the gytpol Web UI service to apply the modifications.

For SaaS customers, there is no need to specify a port, as the URL utilizes port 443.

get_miscon_by_computer

This REST API function returns misconfigurations given a computer name and optionally Windows domain name.

Request Structure

JSON string of the following structure:

Response Structure

JSON string of the following structure:

Request Example

curl --location --request POST "{BASE-URL}/gytpolapi/v2.0/get_miscon_by_computer" --header "x-api-key: jyUbUQNuVjClzQ5f6sXgmcgGzyoFiaYXA+OvxObvLV8=" --data-raw "{ \"computer\": \"YOUR-COMPUTER-NAME\"}"

Powershell:

$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"

$headers.Add("x-api-key", "{API KEY}")

$body = "{`"computer`": `"{PCName}`"}"

$response = Invoke-RestMethod 'https://{BASE-URL}/gytpolapi/v2.0/get_miscon_by_computer' -Method 'POST' -Headers $headers -Body $body

$response | ConvertTo-Json

Note: Change BASE-URL to your base URL. Change x-api-key to your API key.

For On-prem customers, please incorporate your port (i.e., 9191) into the BASE-URL as follows: BASE-URL:PORT.
