This document describes important RESTful APIs of STF. These APIs may open the door to new creative uses of STF. You can use these APIs for running UI tests on real devices. Integrating STF with CI tools such as Jenkins etc. Building device farm for data extraction for smartphone app data mining. You can even use these apis for creating bitcoin mining farm. Possibilities are infinite!
PS: Please, don't forget to give us our share, if you successfully mine some bitcoins ;).
Let's talk about APIs now. Internally STF uses Swagger interface for its API implementation. For those who don't know about Swagger, Swagger provides specifications for RESTful apis. By using it you can generate documentations and client SDKs in various language automatically for Swagger-enabled apps. This gives you power to use STF APIs in any language of your favorite. You can read more about Swagger at here.
You can check swagger documentations for STF APIs from here. From this document you can check latest APIs, their definitions, usage etc.
STF uses oauth2 for RESTful APIs authentication. In order to use APIs, you will first need to generate an access token. Access tokens can be easily generated from STF UI. Just go to the Settings tab and generate new access token from keys section. Don't forget to save this token somewhere, you will not be able to see it again.
Put access token in the header of every request
Curl Sample
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH-TOKEN" https://stf.example.org/api/v1/user
NodeJS Sample
var Swagger = require('swagger-client');
var SWAGGER_URL = 'https://stf.example.org/api/v1/swagger.json';
var AUTH_TOKEN = 'xx-xxxx-xx';
// Without Promise
var client = new Swagger({
url: SWAGGER_URL
, authorizations: {
accessTokenAuth: new Swagger.ApiKeyAuthorization('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + AUTH_TOKEN, 'header')
}
, success: function() {
client.user.getUser(function(user) {
console.log(user.obj)
})
}
});
// Using Promise
var clientWithPromise = new Swagger({
url: SWAGGER_URL
, usePromise: true
, authorizations: {
accessTokenAuth: new Swagger.ApiKeyAuthorization('Authorization', 'Bearer ' + AUTH_TOKEN, 'header')
}
})
clientWithPromise.then(function(api) {
api.user.getUser()
.then(function(res) {
console.log(res.obj.user.email)
// [email protected]
})
})
List all STF devices including disconnected or offline ones
GET /api/v1/devices
Curl Sample
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH-TOKEN" https://stf.example.org/api/v1/devices
NodeJS Sample
clientWithPromise.then(function(api) {
api.devices.getDevices()
.then(function(res) {
console.log(res.obj.devices.length)
// 50
})
})
// OR
clientWithPromise.then(function(api) {
api.devices.getDevices({fields: 'serial,using,ready'})
.then(function(res) {
console.log(res.obj.devices)
// [ { serial: 'xxxx', using: false, ready: true },
// { serial: 'yyyy', using: false, ready: true }]
})
})
Provide information to specific device
GET /api/v1/devices/{serial}
Curl Sample
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH-TOKEN" https://stf.example.org/api/v1/devices/xxxxxxxxx
NodeJS Sample
clientWithPromise.then(function(api) {
api.devices.getDeviceBySerial({serial: 'xxxx'})
.then(function(res) {
console.log(res.obj.device.serial)
// xxxx
})
})
// OR
clientWithPromise.then(function(api) {
api.devices.getDeviceBySerial({serial: 'xxxx', fields: 'serial,using,ready'})
.then(function(res) {
console.log(res.obj.device)
// { serial: 'xxxx', using: false, ready: true }
})
})
Provides current authenticated user information
GET /api/v1/user
Curl Sample
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH-TOKEN" https://stf.example.org/api/v1/user
NodeJS Sample
clientWithPromise.then(function(api) {
api.user.getUser()
.then(function(res) {
console.log(res.obj.user.email)
// [email protected]
})
})
Provide devices owned by user
GET /api/v1/user/devices
Curl Sample
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH-TOKEN" https://stf.example.org/api/v1/user/devices
NodeJS Sample
clientWithPromise.then(function(api) {
api.user.getUserDevices()
.then(function(res) {
console.log(res.obj.devices.length)
// 1
})
})
// OR
clientWithPromise.then(function(api) {
api.user.getUserDevices({fields: 'serial,using,ready'})
.then(function(res) {
console.log(res.obj.devices)
// [ { serial: 'xxxx', using: true, ready: true } ]
})
})
Add new device for user
POST /api/v1/user/devices
Curl Sample
curl -X POST --header "Content-Type:application/json" --data '{"serial":"EP7351U3WQ"}' -H "Authorization: Bearer OAUTH-TOKEN" https://stf.example.org/api/v1/user/devices
NodeJS Sample
var device = {serial: 'yyyy', timeout: 900000 }
clientWithPromise.then(function(api) {
return api.user.addUserDevice({device: device})
.then(function(res) {
console.log(res.obj)
// { success: true, description: 'Device successfully added' }
