Is there a way to get the list of guacamole users thru API?
Hi,
I'm wondering what would be the best way to get the list of guacamole users
from an external system? Is there any existing authenticated API? (The idea
is to have something similar with what is available for gitlab :
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/)
Do you have any sample of API or guacamole extension I could use?
Thanks for your help & best regards. Olivier.

Many thanks Nick.
I was able to do it with your Python app and created a php curl sample
available at https://github.com/ochamber/guacamole_users

Please see:

I do not believe you can do it with an HTTP GET request, but you can do it
with the HTTP POST request as used in the above code.

Hi,
I was able to get information thru curl & php but the token has a time to
live of 60 minutes.
Is there a way to login to Guacamole with username/password and get a valid
token?
if yes, can you please provide a sample URL on the way to do it (I've
tried
https://baseURL/guacamole/api/tokens/get?username=username&password=password
without succes)
or better a way to set a token that never expires (until revocation)?
Thanks again for your help. Regards. Olivier.

Yes, just about everything that is part of the Guacamole Client operates
via an API. My best suggestion for seeing these calls would be to use the
Developer Console in a web browser (e.g. Chrome Developer Console) to view
the network calls while going through the web interface and you'll be able
to pick out the API calls and see the various responses. For retrieving
the current users, you should see calls to the following endpoint:
http://hostname:8080/guacamole/api/session/data/<DATASOURCE>/users?token=<LOGIN
TOKEN>
Where <DATASOURCE> is the name of the location where the users are stored
(e.g. postgresql, ldap, etc.) and <LOGIN TOKEN> is the login token you
received from logging into the Guacamole interface. I also wrote some
sample Python code that leverages the API - you can take a look at that and
see an example of programmatically logging into the interface and getting a
token, and then gathering data from various endpoints. I don't think I did
anything with users, but it should be pretty easy to see how it works.
