MyWorkDrive version 7.1 introduces a powerful new Public API that allows administrators to automate the creation, configuration, and removal of file shares and permissions using HTTP requests. This API is designed for advanced users who need to integrate share management into external systems, scripts, o orchestration workflows.

Getting Started

1. Enable the API
Go to Admin Panel > Enterprise
Enable the Public API
Copy your API Key

All requests must include the API key in the HTTP header:
Header: ApiKey: {your-api-key}

2. Access the API
API is hosted locally (by default) on:
http://127.0.0.1:8360

Share Management Endpoints

Operation	Method	Endpoint	Notes
List all shares	GET	/api/v3/ListShares	Returns array of all shares
Get a share by name	GET	/api/v3/GetShare?name={shareName}	Returns share if it exists
Create a new share	GET	/api/v3/CreateShare?name={name}&path={path}&storageProviderId={id}	Requires storageProviderId
Delete a share	GET	/api/v3/DeleteShare?name={name}	Does NOT auto-remove permissions

Note: Shares will only appear in the Admin Panel if at least
one permission is assigned. API changes may take up to 5 minutes to reflect due
to caching.

Permission Management Endpoints

Operation	Method	Endpoint	Notes
List all permissions	GET	/api/v3/ListPermissions	Lists all entries
List permissions for user/group	GET	/api/v3/ListPermissions?name={name}	Filters by name

Storage Providers

To create a share, you need the storageProviderId.

How to Retrieve It:
1. Go to Admin Panel > Integrations
2. Create a new storage entry (e.g., Azure Blob, Azure Files, SMB)
3. Check the General.xml file in Wanpath\wanpath.data\settings
for the generated storageProviderId

⚠️ Currently, API support for managing storage
providers (add/delete) is under consideration.

Notes and Limitations

• Cache Delay: Updates may take up to 5 minutes to appear in
the Admin Panel.
• Delete Behavior: Deleting a share does NOT automatically delete associated
permissions (must be done as a separate post).
• HTTP Verbs: The API is verb-agnostic (GET, POST, etc.), but examples here use
GET for simplicity.
• Spaces & Encoding: URL parameters must be URL-encoded (e.g., All Entra ID
Members → All%20Entra%20ID%20Members).
• Modifications: To modify a share or permission, delete and re-create it.

Consideraciones de Seguridad

This API is designed to run on a private local network interface by default. Making it publicly accessible should be done with extreme caution. For security, the Management API is hosted on a separate IIS site Wanpath.Admin.API on port 8360. For additional security add a host name and SSL certificate to this IIS site while continuing to limit access via firewall or authentication controls.
