How to create chat room in ejabberd through rest api? - oauth

Question

I know that I can create chat room in ejabberd using command
ejabberdctl create_room room_name muc_service xmpp_domain
and I can send invites to users using command
ejabberdctl send_direct_invitation room_name password reason jid1[:jid2]
Can someone tell me how to do the same using ejabberd rest api ?
I'm using oauth for authentication.
I've done following configuration in ejabberd.yml file
port: 5280
module: ejabberd_http
request_handlers:
"/websocket": ejabberd_http_ws
"/log": mod_log_http
"/oauth": ejabberd_oauth
"/api": mod_http_api
web_admin: true
http_bind: true
register: true
captcha: true
commands_admin_access: configure
commands:
- add_commands:
- user
- status
oauth_expire: 3600
oauth_access: all
and also enabled mod_muc_admin in ejabberd.yml file using
modules:
mod_muc_admin: {}

Answer 1

Use mod_restful module for accessing ejabberd through api. You need to configure below lines in ejabberd.yml if you want to access that module.
mod_restful:
api:
- path: ["admin"]
module: mod_restful_admin
params:
key: "secret"
allowed_commands: [register, unregister,status, add_rosteritem, create_room, send_direct_invitation, set_room_affiliation]
- path: ["register"]
module: mod_restful_register
params:
key: "secret"
They commands that are declared in allowed_commands, only those commands are accessible through api. So in future if you want to access any other commands you need to add here.
once you finished adding ,restart ejabberd and you can access api either with postman or with curl
/*
Data that need to be sent for creating group.
Url : example.com:8088/api/admin/
Content-Type: application/json
{"key": "secret","command": "create_room","args": ["group1","conference.example.com","example.com"]}
*/
Similar like this try for send_direct_invitation too...

To do the api request to create a room,
Do a curl post,
curl -X POST -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -d '{
"name": "aaaaa",
"service": "bbbbb",
"host": "ccccc"
}' "http://localhost:5280/api/create_room"
Or if you want to add multiple room in a single stoke, add all the room names in a file, say the file name is aaaaa
do a curl as this,
curl -X POST -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -d '{
"file": "aaaaa"
}' "http://localhost:5280/api/create_rooms_file"
