How do i download and install a specific module using the rest api ?

[Thermostaten]

I am trying to use the rest api to automate the setup of my pineapple VII and want to install the evilportal module.

I have read the guide here : https://hak5.github.io/mk7-docs/docs/rest/modules/modules/ but find the method description for downloading and installing a module hard to understand..

It just says:

Install remote module use the PUT /api/modules/install

Request Body
{ BODY }

Response

If successful, RETURNS:

{ RESPONSE }

I cant figure out how to send that CURL line .. !?

Here is what I am doing so far but cant get the correct syntax:

CURL="/usr/bin/curl"

# GET REST_API_TOKEN
TOKEN=$(${CURL} -s -X POST http://172.16.42.1:1471/api/login -d '{"username": "root", "password": "Ihateplaintextpasswordsincommands"}'|cut -d '"' -f 4)

# Download and install the evilportal module using the Token i just got from the last command
${CURL} -s -X PUT http://172.16.42.1:1471/api/modules/install -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" -d '{"name":"evilportal"}'

It returns this error:     {"error":"json: cannot unmarshal array into Go value of type models.RemoteModule"}

# This works and will return a list of modules i can download:
${CURL} -s -X GET http://172.16.42.1:1471/api/modules/available -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}"

How do I get this download and install to work ?

Try "moduleName":"evilportal" instead of "name":"evilportal"

Thanks that worked :). Where can i find the documentation for that naming ?

[dark_pyrro]

When I can't find any answer in the documentation regarding how to use the API, I start a web browser and open the dev console in the browser and check what happens as I do the same thing using the web UI. The API params used will show. So, in this case I just added a module in the web UI and looked in the console at the same time and got the param used.
