ANSWERED generate config via api

[bananaphone69 0]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to get the .ovpn config files downloaded via terminal in Ubuntu. I am trying to automate my setup a bit. The goal is to download .ovpn files for all available servers and stored locally to integrate into network manager. I'm not a very advanced user but am trying to learn; apologies if this question is covered elsewhere or doesn't make sense. I couldn't find anything like this in the API FAQ.

Use the "Client Area"/"Config Generator" tabs.
Check the "Advanced Mode" box.
Select the "Linux" button in "Choose your Operating System".
Select "UDP" in "Protocols".
In the "By single servers" area click the "Invert selection" button.
At the bottom press the "Generate" button.
Then find "or download an archive by choosing a format" and select one to download.

Hi NaDre, thank you but I am hoping to do this over command line rather than a browser ideally so I can automate it as a script. Is there a way to do this using the API?

It seems this may not be possible to do via API but I wanted to see if there are any other options to automate this procedure into a script.

My hope is to have a .zip file with the downloaded .ovpn files contained within that is downloaded to my machine. If anyone knows of a method to do this with a script, please let me know.

Check this project, from one of the community members:
https://github.com/corrad1nho/qomui
 

Add config files:

qomui-cli -a $provider
Connect to a server:

qomui-cli -c $server
Activate options (e.g. firewall):

qomui-cli -e firewall
List and filter available servers:

qomui-cli -l Airvpn "United States"

It's also possible with Eddie cli but python will be probably more easier to start with.

Hi, thank you for the response. I feel I am close but coming up against a wall. When I use qomui-cli -a airvpn, after giving a path and login, terminal gives me the following response:

Please wait....

Do you maybe know what's going on?

Looks like you didn't provide credentials, or provided wrong ones.

Ping @corrado to look at this further.
