Response in XML Format

To receive a response in the XML format, send a request in the following format:

https://<host>:9081/api/<object>/<script>.ds?<parameters>

where:

<host>—IP address or DNS name of a computer with the Dr.Web Server installed;

<object>—managed object: station, group, Dr.Web Server, administrator, Quarantine.

Available request scripts and their parameters are described in the following sections:

4. Station Handling,

5. Group Handling,

6. Dr.Web Server Handling,

7. Quarantine Handling,

8. Administrator Handling,

9. Administrator Group Handling.

The “-” sign in script title can be replaced with the “_” sign. Thus, responses to requests based on installed-components.ds or installed_components.ds scripts will be the same.

As a response, you receive an XML document that looks like this:

<drweb-es-api api_version="4.3.0" timestamp="1579467853" server="192.168.1.1" srv_version="13.00.0.202005090" status="true">
  <!-- etc. Skipped in documentation -->
</drweb-es-api>

Attributes of the <drweb-es-api /> root element:

Attribute

Description

api_version

Current Web API version

timestamp

Dr.Web Server GMT time (Unix timestamp format)

server

Dr.Web Server domain name or IP address

srv_version

Full version of Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite

status

Request status. true—means a request has been processed successfully, false—means an error occurred and a request has not been processed.

If there was any error (status=’false’) during the operation, the XML document would include the <error /> element, with error description and code. The error would be described in the <message /> element, and error code would be in the <errno /> element.

<drweb-es-api api_version="4.3.0" timestamp="1579450629" server="192.168.1.1" srv_version="13.00.0.202005090" status="false">
  <error>
     <errno>36</errno>

     <message>Unable to remove group '411dac63-2a3e-4ce8-af4f-1fbeb94242ef': You cannot remove the system group</message>
  </error>
</drweb-es-api>

See Appendix C. Returned Error Codes for a list of possible error codes.

Date and time in all elements of all Web API 4.3.0 scripts are returned in the Unix timestamp format.
