Unable to use Create_WLAN

[bill-cli]

Attempting to create a new WLAN according to documentation in client.php. See following code:

/**
 * PHP API usage example
 *
 * contributed by: Art of WiFi
 * description:    example basic PHP script to create a new site, returns true upon success
 */

/**
 * using the composer autoloader
 */
// require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
require_once 'C:/Users/admin/Downloads/UniFi-API-client-1.1.79/src/client.php';
/**
 * include the config file (place your credentials etc. there if not already present)
 * see the config.template.php file for an example
 */
require_once '../config.php';

/**
 * we use the default site in the initial connection
 */
/**
 * the site to use to log in to the controller
 */
$site_id = 'default';

/**

 */
$name ='APITest';
$x_passphrase ='PlacePasswordHere';
$usergroup_id ='id from list_usergroup';
$wlangroup_id ='id from list_wlan_group';
/*$enabled = true;
$hide_ssid = false; 
$is_guest = false; 
$security = 'open'; 
$wpa_mode = 'wpa2'; 
$wpa_enc = 'ccmp'; 
$vlan_enabled = null; 
$vlan_id = null; 
$uapsd_enabled = false; 
$schedule = [];
$schedule_enabled = false;
$ap_group_ids = null; */

/**
 * initialize the UniFi API connection class and log in to the controller and do our thing
 */
$unifi_connection = new UniFi_API\Client($controlleruser, $controllerpassword, $controllerurl, $site_id, $controllerversion);
$loginresults     = $unifi_connection->login();
$results          = $unifi_connection->create_wlan($name, $x_passphrase, $usergroup_id, $wlangroup_id/*, $enabled, $hide_ssid, $is_guest, $security, $wpa_mode, $wpa_enc, $vlan_enabled, $vlan_id, $uapsd_enabled,$schedule,$schedule_enabled,$ap_group_ids*/);
$debug            = $unifi_connection->get_debug();
/**
 * provide feedback in json format
 */
echo json_encode($results, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
echo json_encode($debug, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);

Debug is enabled. This function results in the output "false", debug output is also "false".

We tailed the logs in the docker container running the controller (7.1.65) and the server.log file generates this message:

<webapi-83> WARN sanitize - Invalid key exists in WlanConf payload, key=wlangroup_id

Which value are you passing as the wlangroup_id?

[bill-cli]

The client documentation says to pass one retrieved from the “list_wlan_groups”, so i pass the “_id” parameter from that command.

Ok, understood, just checking. I don’t have the time at the moment but need to check if anything changed with this route for the latest controller versions. Maybe that parameter is no longer needed or renamed.

[karpiatek]

Well, starting from version 6 of the UniFi controller, there is no longer such parameter as wlangroup_id.

If anyone is willing to submit a pull request or share a code change here I will test and incorporate it in the mainstream package.

I watched the browser network console when adding a new WiFi network on version 7.2.92 of the controller application and it looks like the API endpoint may have changed as well. The POST is going to /rest/wlanconf instead of /add/wlanconf in addition to wlangroup_id not being included. I'll try to test the changes and make a pull request this week.

[OrionTheGiant]

Removing the wlangroup_id and changing the API endpoint worked. Pull request in #169

[swapnildevstree]

Can anyone please give complete working example of the Latest function and code without wlan group id
