aioruckus

A Python API which interacts with Ruckus Unleashed and ZoneDirector devices via their AJAX Web Service interface.
Configuration information can also be queried from Ruckus Unleashed and ZoneDirector backup files.

Compatible with all Ruckus Unleashed versions, and Ruckus ZoneDirector versions 9.10 onwards.

How to install

pip install aioruckus

Usage

Functions are defined within an async context manager, so you will have to use asyncio rather than calling the functions directly in a shell.

from aioruckus import AjaxSession, BackupSession, SystemStat
import asyncio

async def test_aioruckus():
    
    async with AjaxSession.async_create("<ruckus ip>", "<ruckus user>", "<ruckus password>") as session:
        ruckus = session.api

Other APIs for Ruckus Unleashed

This project was originally a fork of pyruckus, which provides similar Python query functionality by controlling an SSH CLI session.

There is a Go client for the latest releases of Unleashed.
Since it's strongly typed, has good quality comments, and doesn't (yet) contain the large collection of tweaks and hacks needed to work over a wide range of Unleashed and ZoneDirector releases, the ruckus-go source code is a great place to understand the required requests and responses you should expect to receive from the AJAX API.

There is also scrapli support for the Ruckus Unleashed SSH CLI via scrapli community.
Authentication and privilege levels are implemented, but no templates are implemented as of August 2023.
