Common Workflows

Full asset onboarding

# 1. Get or create model
model_id=$(snipe_get "/models?search=MacBook+Pro+16" | jq '.rows[0].id // empty')

# 2. Create asset
asset_id=$(snipe_post "/hardware" "{
  \"asset_tag\":   \"ASSET-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M)\",
  \"model_id\":    $model_id,
  \"status_id\":   2,
  \"name\":        \"MacBook Pro 16\",
  \"location_id\": 1
}" | jq '.payload.id')

echo "Created asset ID: $asset_id"

# 3. Checkout to user
snipe_post "/hardware/$asset_id/checkout" "{
  \"checkout_to_type\": \"user\",
  \"assigned_user\":    7,
  \"note\":             \"New hire onboarding\"
}"

Quarterly audit

# Get all assets overdue for audit
snipe_get "/hardware/audit/overdue" | jq '.rows[] | {id, asset_tag, name, last_audit_date}'

# Confirm each asset location
while IFS= read -r asset_tag; do
  snipe_post "/hardware/audit" "{
    \"asset_tag\":   \"$asset_tag\",
    \"location_id\": 1
  }" | jq '{status, messages}'
done < asset_tags.txt

License compliance check

# For each license, compare seats vs checked out
snipe_get "/licenses?limit=100" | jq '.rows[] | {
  name,
  total_seats:     .seats,
  available_seats: .free_seats_count,
  checked_out:     (.seats - .free_seats_count)
}'

User offboarding

user_id=7

# Get all assets
snipe_get "/users/$user_id/assets" | jq '.rows[] | .id' | while read asset_id; do
  snipe_post "/hardware/$asset_id/checkin" '{"note": "User offboarding"}'
  echo "Checked in asset $asset_id"
done

# Get all accessories
snipe_get "/users/$user_id/accessories" | jq '.rows[] | .id' | while read acc_id; do
  snipe_post "/accessories/$acc_id/checkin" '{"note": "User offboarding"}'
done

# Deactivate user
snipe_patch "/users/$user_id" '{"activated": false}'
echo "User $user_id deactivated"

Error Handling

snipe_safe() {
  local result
  result=$(snipe "$@")
  local status=$(echo "$result" | jq -r '.status // "success"')

  if [ "$status" = "error" ]; then
    echo "❌ Error: $(echo "$result" | jq -r '.messages')" >&2
    return 1
  fi

  echo "$result"
}

# Usage
snipe_safe GET "/hardware/42"
snipe_safe POST "/hardware/42/checkout" '{"checkout_to_type":"user","assigned_user":7}'

Setup

export SNIPEIT_URL="https://assets.w-w.top"
export SNIPEIT_API_TOKEN="your_token_here"

Getting API token:

  1. Log in → click your avatar (top right)
  2. Manage API Keys → Create New Token
  3. Give it a name → copy the token

Important notes:

  • Always send both 
    Content-Type: application/json
    AND 
    Accept: application/json
  • API always returns 
    200 OK
    — check 
    .status
    field for 
    "success"
    / 
    "error"
  • Use 
    ?limit=
    and 
    ?offset=
    for pagination (max 500 per request)
  • Dates format: 
    YYYY-MM-DD
  • Monetary values: string 
    "99.99"
    not number
