## About The Project

The [DattoAPI](https://www.datto.com/) offers users the ability to extract data from Datto into third-party reporting tools and aims to abstract away the details of interacting with Datto's API endpoints in such a way that is consistent with PowerShell nomenclature. This gives system administrators and PowerShell developers a convenient and familiar way of using Datto's API to create documentation scripts, automation, and integrations.

- :book: Project documentation can be found on [Github Pages](https://celerium.github.io/Datto-PowerShellWrapper/)
- :book: Datto's REST API documentation on their management portal [here](https://portal.dattobackup.com/integrations/api) *[ Requires a login ]*.

Datto features a REST API that makes use of common HTTP request methods. In order to maintain PowerShell best practices, only approved verbs are used.

- GET -> `Get-`
- PUT -> `Set-`

Additionally, PowerShell's `verb-noun` nomenclature is respected. Each noun is prefixed with `Datto` in an attempt to prevent naming problems.

For example, one might access the `/bcdr/device` endpoint by running the following PowerShell command with the appropriate parameters:

```posh
Get-DattoDevice -serialNumber 12345
```

## Install

This module can be installed directly from the [PowerShell Gallery](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/DattoAPI) with the following command:

```posh
Install-Module -Name DattoAPI
```

- :information_source: This module supports PowerShell 5.0+ and *should* work in PowerShell Core.
- :information_source: If you are running an older version of PowerShell, or if PowerShellGet is unavailable, you can manually download the *main* branch and place the *DattoAPI* folder into the (default) `C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules` folder.

Project documentation can be found on [Github Pages](https://celerium.github.io/Datto-PowerShellWrapper/)

- A full list of functions can be retrieved by running `Get-Command -Module DattoAPI`.
- Help info and a list of parameters can be found by running `Get-Help `, such as:

```posh
Get-Help Get-DattoDevice
Get-Help Get-DattoDevice -Full
```

## Initial Setup

After installing this module, you will need to configure both the *base URI* & *API access tokens* that are used to talk with the Datto API.

1. Run `Add-DattoBaseURI`
- By default, Datto's `https://api.datto.com/v1` URI is used.
- If you have your own API gateway or proxy, you may put in your own custom URI by specifying the `-base_uri` parameter:
- `Add-DattoBaseURI -base_uri http://myapi.gateway.celerium.org`

2. Run `Add-DattoAPIKey -Api_Key_Public 12345 -Api_Key_Secret 123456789`
- It will prompt you to enter your API access tokens if you do not specify them.
- Datto API access tokens are generated via the Datto portal at *Admin > Integrations*

3. [**optional**] Run `Export-DattoModuleSettings`
- This will create a config file at `%UserProfile%\DattoAPI` that holds the *base uri* & *API access tokens* information.
- Next time you run `Import-Module -Name DattoAPI`, this configuration file will automatically be loaded.
- :warning: Exporting module settings encrypts your API access tokens in a format that can **only be unencrypted by the user principal** that encrypted the secret. It makes use of .NET DPAPI, which for Windows uses reversible encrypted tied to your user principal. This means that you **cannot copy** your configuration file to another computer or user account and expect it to work.
- :warning: However in Linux\Unix operating systems the secret keys are more obfuscated than encrypted so it is recommend to use a more secure & cross-platform storage method.

## Usage

Calling an API resource is as simple as running `Get-Datto`

- The following is a table of supported functions and their corresponding API resources:
- Table entries with [ `-` ] indicate that the functionality is **NOT** supported by the Datto API at this time.

| Section | API Resource | Create | Read | Update | Delete |
| --------- | ------------------ | ------ | ----------------------------- | ------------------------- | ------ |
| Reporting | ActivityLog | - | `Get-DattoActivityLog` | - | - |
| BCDR | Agent | - | `Get-DattoAgent` | - | - |
| BCDR | Alert | - | `Get-DattoAlert` | - | - |
| BCDR | Asset | - | `Get-DattoAsset` | - | - |
| BCDR | **BCDR** * | - | `Get-DattoBCDR` | - | - |
| BCDR | Device | - | `Get-DattoDevice` | - | - |
| BCDR | Share | - | `Get-DattoShare` | - | - |
| BCDR | VMRestore | - | `Get-DattoVMRestore` | - | - |
| BCDR | Volume | - | `Get-DattoVolume` | - | - |
| SaaS | **SaaS** * | - | `Get-DattoSaaS` | - | - |
| SaaS | Domains | - | `Get-DattoDomain` | - | - |
| SaaS | Seats | - | `Get-DattoSeat` | - | - |
| SaaS | Applications | - | `Get-DattoApplication` | - | - |
| SaaS | BulkSeatChange | - | - | `Set-DattoBulkSeatChange` | - |

- :warning: `Get-DattoBCDR` & `Get-DattoSaaS` are special functions.
- These are **NOT** endpoints in Datto's REST API and are a single set of commands that can run endpoints in their associate sections.
- I included them because they made scripting easier and felt like a nice-to-have feature IMO

Each `Get-Datto*` function will respond with the raw data that Datto's API provides.

- :warning: Returned data is mostly structured the same but can vary between commands.
- pagination - Information about the number of pages of results are available and other metadata.
- items - The actual information requested (this is what most people care about)
