GAPS API Access

#1

HI,

We have access to GAPS, but are trying to access it through the XML API, is there any documentation for this?

#2

As far as I know there isn’t an API to GAPS.

#3

What is the usage needed?

Grandstream recently released GDMS (https://gdms.cloud) which will replace GAPS eventually and it has an API.

#4

We would like to redirect phones to our own provisioning servers.

With support for the following devices:

GRP2612
GRP2613
GRP2614
GRP2615
GRP2616
GXP1610 / 1615 / 1620 / 1625
GXP1628
GXP1630
GXP1760w
GXP1780 / 1782
GXP2130
GXP2135
GXP2140
GXP2160
GXP2170

All you need to do is provision the MACs in GAPS create profiles redirecting MACS to your servers and reset handsets

Hi rtl,

Yes we have but this needs to be automated

Perhaps it should but it’s never been that way and I guess, with the release of GDMS, it won’t be. You need to look at GDMS for your requirements. It has an API that works well…the documentation can be found at https://doc.grandstream.dev/GDMS-API/EN/#api-157121573453101000009
It’s pretty straightforward to implement

There does seem to be API access to GAPS, because 3CX seems to have access to it as I just reset a phone that I had taken out of 3CX and it automatically got a URL including “rps” inserted into the provisioning server spot. There’s no DHCP option that would put it there.

GAPS still fills a need sadly, if you want to do endpoint management on your terms you have to manually set the provisioning server as GDMS does not support simple redirections to a provisioning server, it wants to take over as the provisioning server. Odd that they don’t want to keep parity with Yealink RPS, which is much easier since I can let my FreePBX EPM manage the cfgs automagically, especially with preconfiged BLFs.
