Alias API - URL-Table updatefreq

[niceRath]

Greetings! (:

We are managing OPNSense aliases using the API.

I have a problem setting the update frequency for the alias-type 'urltable'.

Per example I'm sending a request like this:

Code: [Select]

POST to /api/firewall/alias/addItem
Data: {"name": "IPLIST_Spamhaus_DROPv6", "type": "urltable", "content": ["https://www.spamhaus.org/drop/dropv6.txt"]}

This works like expected and the alias gets added.
But without setting any update frequency. I actually don't know if the ip-list gets fetched periodically without that.

I tried setting it via:

Code: [Select]

updatefreq refenence: https://github.com/opnsense/core/blob/master/src/opnsense/mvc/app/models/OPNsense/Firewall/Alias.xml
updatefreq_days reference: https://github.com/opnsense/core/blob/master/src/opnsense/mvc/app/views/OPNsense/Firewall/alias.volt

Combined string:
 {"name": "N", "type": "urltable", "content": ["U"], "updatefreq": "7d"}
Default int: (not defined if days or hours?)
 {"name": "N", "type": "urltable", "content": ["U"], "updatefreq": 7}
Days string:
 {"name": "N", "type": "urltable", "content": ["U"], "updatefreq_days": "7"}
Days int:
 {"name": "N", "type": "urltable", "content": ["U"], "updatefreq_days": 7}
Nested string:
 {"name": "N", "type": "urltable", "content": ["U"], "updatefreq": {"updatefreq_days": "7"}}
Nested int:
 {"name": "N", "type": "urltable", "content": ["U"], "updatefreq": {"updatefreq_days": 7}}


Note: 'N' and 'U' are replacements to simplify the examples

But none of the tries succeeded.
As I found no further documentation for using the API => is this possible at all?
And if - how? (:

[Fright]

Code: [Select]

{"alias":{"enabled":"1","name":"SPAMHOUSE_DROP","type":"urltable","proto":"","updatefreq":"0.5","content":"https://www.spamhaus.org/drop/drop.txt","interface":"","counters":"0","description":"SPAMHOUSE_DROP"},"network_content":""}? (for 12h updatefreq alias)

so updatefreq is precalculated value as a number of days between updates

Hello.

Thank you for your help!

Seems it works this way.
