MikroTik RouterOS runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 158 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 21 Sep 2026.
MikroTik RouterOS over the binary API, addressing rules by real .id not list position.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check MikroTik RouterOS every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

}Put your own values in place of
<MIKROTIK_HOST> (IP address or hostname of the router, e.g. 192.168.88.1), <MIKROTIK_USERNAME> (RouterOS user. Use a dedicated account rather than admin; its group must carry the `api` policy, and a group without it is rejected with the same error as a wrong password), <MIKROTIK_PASSWORD> (Password for that user).
The author’s registry entry marks them as required.
Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
MIKROTIK_PORT (API port: 8729 for api-ssl (default), 8728 for plaintext), MIKROTIK_TLS (Use the TLS API. Defaults to true; turning it off sends the router password over the network in the clear), MIKROTIK_TLS_FINGERPRINT (SHA-256 of the router certificate. MikroTik's API-SSL certificate is self-signed, so pinning this is what makes the connection authenticated rather than merely encrypted), MIKROTIK_TIMEOUT (Connection timeout in seconds. Defaults to 10).
