Asicminer Blade API

[dzindra]

I was wondering if there is some way to get machine-friendly data (json, xml) from asicminer blade.

Also is there any way of discovering the blade on the network (such as UDP broadcast packet)?

Not that I know of, but there isn't much to the html so that might give you what you need.
Otherwise, depending on how you want things set up, I'd suggest running bfgminer as a getwork proxy with your blade(s) pointed to that.  Then, you can use bfgminer's api.

I did not know that bfgminer has getwork proxy I removed slush's python proxy and installed bfgminer and now I have low cpu usage, API access and pool switching. Thanks!

For the API part, I wrote a simple bash script that just parses the info and exposes them as variables. Not exactly that polished though, but works well:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
## script for getting beblade stats
## usage: beblade.sh [options to pass to curl]

## config
ip=192.168.1.2
port=80

## code
beblade_raw=$(curl -s $ip:$port ${@})
status=$?
if [[ $status == 0 ]]; then
        beblade_active=1
        beblade_errors=$(echo $beblade_raw | sed -e "s|<|\n|g" -e "s|>|\n|g" | grep Chip | sed -e "s|Chip: ||" | grep -o "X" | wc -l)
        beblade_mhps=$(echo $beblade_raw | sed -e "s|<|\n|g" -e "s|>|\n|g" | grep MHS -A 4 | tail -n 1 | sed 's/^0*//')
        beblade_received=$(echo $beblade_raw | sed -e "s|<|\n|g" -e "s|>|\n|g" | grep "Received" -A 4 | tail -n 1 | sed 's/^0*//')
        beblade_accepted=$(echo $beblade_raw | sed -e "s|<|\n|g" -e "s|>|\n|g" | grep "Accepted" -A 4 | tail -n 1 | sed 's/^0*//')
        beblade_perminute=$(echo $beblade_raw | sed -e "s|<|\n|g" -e "s|>|\n|g" | grep "Per Minute" -A 4 | tail -n 1)
        beblade_efficiency=$(echo $beblade_raw | sed -e "s|<|\n|g" -e "s|>|\n|g" | grep "Efficiency" -A 4 | tail -n 1)
        beblade_uptime=$(echo $beblade_raw | sed -e "s|<|\n|g" -e "s|>|\n|g" | grep "Up Time" -A 4 | tail -n 1)
else
        beblade_active=0
        beblade_errors=0
        beblade_mhps=0
        beblade_received=0
        beblade_accepted=0
        beblade_perminute=0
        beblade_efficiency=0
        beblade_uptime=0
fi

I could also write one that allows you to change the settings too.

Thanks for the script - it will definitely come to use.

I wrote simple parser for bfgminer api - check it out at https://github.com/dzindra/bfg-stats

You could try to pipe the info from cgminer, or whatever mining software you're using. Good luck!
