Getting details of AllStar Node from the Node ID

App_Rpt2 · April 23, 2018, 11:03pm

Hi All,

Is there an ‘API’ (Either on the local node or the web) for getting info on an individual AllStar node, from the node number? E.G Call Sign / Location etc

Or, a list in CSV / JSON format?

There’s a list here - https://allstarlink.org/nodelist.php But from experience, parsing HTML tables is a pain.

Thanks

Matthew

The only public API I am aware of is this Allmon script. https://github.com/tsawyer/allmon2/blob/master/astdb.php

It grabs the whole node list not just one node. But if you cron it to run once a day then you can parse the result often as needed.

I have a test json script that is available to the web:

I wrote some php scripts to parse that data:

Announcing this publicly breaks the security of ASL and opens us up to attack
again. This is why the jasondata.cgi was restricted in the first place. This
is just a copy to get around the restriction.

Can we think about security before we make a change? Anything we publish will
be exploited for nefarious purposes.

The json cgi only outp ut strings, no args or system
calls are used.

Again?
What problem s were
you having with the stats server?

I believe the concern is that those strings contain the full list of AllStar nodes, their IP addresses, and their software versions. That’s a lot of sensitive information, and there’s no need to expose it all at once. A better way to do it would be an API that only gives the requested node and connected notes, and only relevant attributes for the current UI. This way all the unrelated nodes’ data are still private.
