RouterOS
RouterOS is MikroTik's powerful network operating system designed for managing routers, switches, access points, and other network devices. It provides a comprehensive REST API (v7.1+) and a TCP-based binary API for programmatic management of IP addresses, interfaces, firewall rules, routing, VPN configurations, DHCP, DNS, and system resources. RouterOS powers MikroTik hardware and can also be deployed as a virtual machine (CHR).
RouterOS publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Bridge API, DHCP API, DNS API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Networking, Routers, Network Management, Firewall, and MikroTik.
The RouterOS catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
RouterOS’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 9 more developer resources.
