API Introduction
- RADIUSdesk is designed in such a way that there is a hard separation between the GUI and the web application providing data to the GUI.
- We use Ext JS for the GUI.
- Ext JS Classic is used with laptop and desktop browsers.
- Ext JS Modern is used with mobile devices.
- All the actions that the GUI do are API calls to a CakePHP web application.
- This means that it is easy to determine the URL and data required for an action.
- This also means that the API calls can be done by any other system thus making third party integration a snap.
- Each API call has to include a token which is associated with the user that logged in on the RADIUSdesk GUI.
- Most of the API calls will also include a cloud_id to indicate on which cloud the action is to be applied.
Common Actions
- Many larger ISPs that makes use of RADIUSdesk prefer it above the commercial one size fits all solutions that already includes CRM and billing components.
- RADIUSdesk allows for easy integration with existing CRM systems and middle-ware.
- See the diagram below which illustrates the possibilities.
- Common actions include:
- Adding Profiles.
- Adding Realms.
- Adding Permanent Users.
- Disabling and Enabling Permanent Users.

- We will cover how to do these actions using the API in dedicated Wiki pages.
