Help with Custom API and specific JSON mapping example

[davephoto]

I'm looking to implement additional widgets for a Mikrotik router using the Custom API and mapping.

I think can send the router this REST API command:

curl -k -u USERNAME:PASSWORD https://172.16.1.1/rest/interface/monitor-traffic --data '{"interface": "pppoe-out1", "duration": "1s", ".proplist": ["name","rx-bits-per-second","tx-bits-per-second"]}' -H "content-type: application/json"

which returns the following:

[{".section":"0","name":"pppoe-out1","rx-bits-per-second":"66768","tx-bits-per-second":"22696"}]

or, reformatted:

[
  {
    ".section": "0",
    "name": "pppoe-out1",
    "rx-bits-per-second": "66768",
    "tx-bits-per-second": "22696"
  }
]

I believe the proper widget configuration equivalent to the above curl looks something like:

        widget:
            type: customapi
            url: https://172.16.1.1/rest/interface/monitor-traffic
            refreshInterval: 10000
            username: USERNAME
            password: PASSWORD
            method: POST
            data: {"interface": "pppoe-out1", "duration": "1s", ".proplist": ["name","rx-bits-per-second","tx-bits-per-second"]}
            headers:
                content-type: application/json

I've tried a few things for mappings: to no avail, including the following:

            mappings:
                - field: rx-bits-per-second
                  label: RX
                  format: bitrate
                - field: tx-bits-per-second
                  label: TX
                  format: bitrate

Can anyone help shed some light on what I might be doing wrong? Thanks!

The custom api widget does not support passing in data for the body of the request
