UniFi Network API

Monitor and configure UniFi network infrastructure.

Entry point: {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py

Setup

See SETUP.md for prerequisites and setup instructions.

Config (config.json):

api_key — UniFi Cloud API key (required)

gateway_ip — Local gateway IP (for faster local access)

local_api_key — Local gateway API key

site_id — Default site UUID (auto-detected if only one site)

Routing is automatic: local gateway when reachable, cloud connector when remote. Use --local to force local-only.

Commands

All commands support --json for raw JSON output.

Infrastructure

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py list-hosts              # Controllers/consoles
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py list-sites              # Sites with statistics
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py list-devices            # All network devices (summary)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py list-site-devices       # Devices with rich detail (ports, radios, features)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py list-aps                # Access points only
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py get-device   # Single device details
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py firmware-status         # Firmware versions + update availability

Clients

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py list-clients              # Currently connected clients
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py list-clients --detailed    # With traffic/signal stats
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py list-known-clients         # All known clients (current + historical)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py list-known-clients --named # Only clients with custom names
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py list-ap-clients            # Wireless clients grouped by AP
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py list-ap-clients --ap Living  # Filter by AP name
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py get-client      # Single client details
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py label-client  "Name"  # Set custom name for a client

Networks & WLANs

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py list-networks             # Configured networks (VLANs)
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py get-wlan-config            # WLAN/SSID configurations
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py get-wlan-config --ssid Hogwarts  # Specific SSID
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py set-wlan --ssid Hogwarts \
  --fast-roaming on \
  --bss-transition on \
  --pmf required \
  --band-steering prefer_5g

Network DNS

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py get-network-dns              # All networks
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py get-network-dns Default       # Specific network
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py set-network-dns Default \
  --dns1 1.1.1.1 --dns2 1.0.0.1                                 # Set DNS servers
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py set-network-dns Default \
  --dns1 auto                                                    # Disable override (use gateway)

Radio Configuration

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py get-radio-config           # Radio config for all APs
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py get-radio-config --ap Living  # Specific AP
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py set-radio --ap Living --band 5 \
  --channel 36 --width 80 --power high

Events

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py list-events                # All site events
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py list-events --filter Roam   # Filter by event type
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/unifi.py list-events --mac aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff  # Filter by MAC

Notes

Site is auto-detected when only one exists; use --site otherwise

--local forces local gateway access (errors if unreachable)

Event buffer is limited (~3 weeks of history depending on volume)

Apple devices use randomized MACs; use label-client to track them by their per-network Wi-Fi Address

See SETUP.md for prerequisites and setup instructions.
