Excerpt

UniFi Connect

The first thing to know: SSH is usually closed and you do not need it. UniFi OS exposes a full REST API on the same host as the web UI, and everything these skills do goes through it. The second thing: UniFi has three overlapping API surfaces with different auth rules, and picking the wrong one produces errors that look like broken credentials when they are not.

Throughout, <UDM_HOST> is your gateway's LAN address. Never hardcode it into a file you might share.

Lane 1: API key (use this)

API keys are the modern lane. No login round-trip, no cookie jar, no CSRF token, and they sidestep the HTTP/2 bug described below.

Minting a key over the API

The admin UI has a key page, but you do not need it. Keys are mintable from an authenticated session:
