License Automation using Licensing APIs

The Iguana ID can be obtained using the command line --id flag. If you need to target a unique working directory, you can optionally use --id --working_dir <working_directory> to point to a specific Iguana working directory and return the Iguana ID.

Windows:

iguana --id --working_dir "C:\ProgramData\IguanaX"

Linux:

./iguana --id

*optionally add the --working_dir flag

Use your Iguana instance IP address and port: https://127.0.0.1:7654

1. Authenticate GET /session/login

To call the IguanaX APIs you must first login and get a session cookie from the response header to authenticate your subsequent requests.

Parameters:

• username: Your IguanaX instance username string

• password: Your IguanaX instance password string

Response Header:

Content-Length: 128
Set-Cookie: IguanaSession-jYQGeQWk97ylKuP8AmEiad=z7WR4Xwzk51hXMP2e3WeZa; path=/; HttpOnly; SameSite=Strict

Example curl command calling the /session/login API and parsing to retrieve Iguana session cookie the response header Set-Cookie to authenticate the next API call:

Should look similar to: IguanaSession-jYQGeQWk97ylKuP8AmEiad=z7WR4Xwzk51hXMP2e3WeZa

IguanaCookie=`curl -i -k -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:7654/session/login?username=<user>&password=<pass>" | grep -i 'Set-Cookie: ' | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's/;$//'`

2. Get License details POST /license/get

This API method returns a JSON object containing the Iguana ID along with other license information. To authenticate, the obtained Cookie is provided in the header of the request.

Response:

{
    "data": {
        "iguana_id": "THSWPRHMUXTT7MRR",
        "license": {
            "component_limit": 500,

        },
        "license_message": "To modify or extend your license, contact the iNTERFACEWARE Sales Office."
    },
    "success": true
}

Example curl command calling the /license/get API and parsing to retrieve the Iguana ID:

IguanaID=`curl -k --header "Cookie: $IguanaCookie" -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:7654/license/get" | jq -r '.data.iguana_id'`
