Cloud Zoo API Access - Add / Remove / Boot users

Zoo
1

Hi all,

This is my first post in this forum so apologies if it’s not in the right place.

Is there API access to the cloud zoo server where I can:

  • Add / remove / manage users in teams.
  • Track the use duration of each user and write a script to boot the user if licences are not in use.

I’ll be dealing with a pool of potentially 500 dynamic users that will be sharing a pool of licences, I’m looking to make my life a bit easier and automate the process.

Thank you, any advice is appreciated!

Hi @krishna.duddumpudi,

One thing to keep in mind is that Cloud Zoo and Rhino accounts are completely separate systems technically speaking.

There is currently no API to add or remove users in a team. It all has to go through the Rhino accounts portal.

You could theoretically use Cloud Zoo’s live or historical usage API to monitor how long a user has taken up a seat, but there is no API to boot the user in the system. This is by design.

Thank you for the quick response @aj1!

Could you please point me in the right direction for signing up for the Cloud Zoo’s live or historical usage API?

Hi @krishna.duddumpudi,

Here are more details. I will warn you again about 4 things: 1) It’s slow, so try not to ask for more than a couple of weeks worth of data at a time or you might timeout. 2) The data is raw, so you’ll need to find a way to represent it visually. 3.) This won’t solve all of your puzzle, which is to boot out users programmatically. 4.) Data older than 2 months may be deleted without notice, so it may be missing or incomplete.

You can make a request to https://cloudzoo.rhino3d.com/v1/usage/historical with the following content:

HTTP Method:

GET

Headers:

Authorization: Bearer AUTH_TOKEN_HERE

Content-Type: application/json

To get an auth token:

  1. Navigate to www.rhino3d.com/licenses in your web browser.

  2. Open the dev tools in your browser (Every browser has this, but they all have different menus/shortcuts to get there)

  3. In the Console on the dev tools (Again, all browsers have this) enter edsApp.model.custom.oauth2Token , then press enter. You should get the actual token used by the Licenses Portal to make requests to Azure.

Query String Arguments:

entityId: The id of the entity whose historical usage will be returned. For your team, it is “5868264097841152-|-Group”

productId: The id of the product whose historical usage will be returned. For Rhino 6, it is “55500d41-3a41-4474-99b3-684032a4f4df”
fromDate: A unix timestamp specifying the earliest point in time that data will be returned for. See https://www.epochconverter.com to get this value.
toDate: A unix timestamp specifying the latest point in time that data will be returned for.
hourlyBillingOnly: should always be “false”

Example:

GET https://cloudzoo.rhino3d.com/v1/usage/historical?entityId= 5868264097841152-%7C-Group&productId=55500d41-3a41-4474-99b3-684032a4f4df&fromDate= 1605720935&toDate=1605730935&hourlyBillingOnly=false
