I don't know if I'm missing anything here... but it I just get redirected to the dashboard when making GET requests to the above example API endpoints:

e.g

curl http://localhost/api.php?customdns&action=get&auth=apikeyhere
[1] 30470
[2] 30471
root@pihole-docker:/var/www/html/admin#     <!doctype html>

            <meta charset='utf-8'>

            <title>● localhost</title>

            <link rel='shortcut icon' href='/admin/img/favicons/favicon.ico' type='image/x-icon'>
        </head>
        <body id='splashpage'>
            <div id="pihole_card">

            </div>

    </html>

I absolutely was missing something (but so were your example URLs - I've updated your OP to reflect)

http://pi.hole/ADMIN/api.php....

After figuring that out, can confirm this does what it says it does

I wonder if we need to document the new API anywhere?

I wonder if we need to document the new API anywhere?

Most likely, however I couldn't find documentation for existing API, could you point me to it?

I could not find it, too. We'll have a much better documented API with v6 one day....

@yubiuser Thanks for this. Question: I'm getting a response like this:

{"data":[["testje.testje","192.168.1.68"],["test.test2","192.168.1.42"]]}[]

which is not valid JSON due to the [] at the end.

In theory, something like the response below would be ideal, though just having the [] removed would be enough for now. Is it possible to fix this?

{
    "data": [
        {
            "domain": "testje.testje",
            "ip": "192.168.1.68"
        },
        {
            "domain": "test.test2",
            "ip": "192.168.1.42"
        }
    ]
}

Thanks 😄
