Discovered API-endpoints for the Google Wifi Router and OnHub

The default submask/IP for the Google Wifi Router is 192.168.86.1, using a Google (TP-LINK) OnHub you should also be able to reach the endpoints via http://on.here/.

Collecting this information to maybe build a nifty macOS-app further down the road.

Another project of note is marcosscriven/galeforce which allows you to root and gain SSH-access to the unit (!).

http://192.168.86.1/api/v1/welcome-mat

OnHub-specific

http://192.168.86.1/api/v1/status

Displays useful status information for the router

http://192.168.86.1/api/v1/connected-devices

If you set the Host header's value to localhost or onhub.here you'll get a 200 response with a response with one field, hueBridges.

Example use using httpie:

$ http --print hbHB http://192.168.86.1/api/v1/connected-devices 'Host:onhub.here'
GET /api/v1/connected-devices HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Connection: keep-alive
Host: onhub.here
User-Agent: HTTPie/0.9.9



HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: 27
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2017 21:47:46 GMT

{
    "_hueBridges": []
}

http://192.168.86.1/api/v1/get-endorsement-information

Just gives the message "device is registered"

http://192.168.86.1/api/v1/get-attestation-information

Returns the message "device is registered"

http://192.168.86.1/api/v1/get-group-configuration

Returns a value for "groupConfiguration"

http://192.168.86.1/api/v1/diagnostic-report

Generates a rather large (> 1.1MB) file with some really interesting diagnostics info together with some kind of encoded data-dump.

http://192.168.86.1/api/v1/get-shmac?ip=<client_ip>

Returns device id for a given IP address. Doesn't work for the router's IP address though.

http://192.168.86.1/api/v1/wan-configuration

Returns (GET) or updates (POST) WAN configuration. Configuration could be one of:

• { "type": "dhcp" }
• { "type": "static", "ipAddr": "...", "netmask": "...", "gateway": "..." }
• { "type": "pppoe", "username": "...", "password": "..." }

http://192.168.86.1/api/v1/set-led-state

Expects a POST request with Content-Type application/json and {"name":"...", "timeoutSeconds":"..."} payload.

The only name supported seems to be "setup_activity", and timeout should be an integer string. Even though Google Wifi accepts the request, there's no visual changes in led state. Not sure why.

http://192.168.86.1/api/v1/developer-configuration

Returns environment information and update url.

http://192.168.86.1/api/v1/prepare-for-setup

Expects a POST request with Content-Type application/json and { "tickedId": "...", "displayName": "..." } payload.

http://192.168.86.1/api/v1/station-mode

Expects a POST request, only available in setup mode (would fail otherwise).

http://192.168.86.1/api/v1/join-group

http://192.168.86.1/api/v1/prove-identity
