gRPC APIs for list of inbounds and users

[miladrahimi]

There are gRPC APIs for adding, altering, and removing inbounds, outbounds, and users but I couldn't find any API for fetching the lists of defined inbounds, outbounds, or users, how can I fetch them?

You can use protoc and grpc plugin on your desired language to auto generate Protobuffers with any language for example for PHP the command to generate proto buffs will be something like this

protoc \
  --proto_path=xray/proto \ # proto files path - can be xray-core repo path cloned
  --php_out=xray \
  --grpc_out=./xray \
  --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc=./grpc/cmake/build/grpc_php_plugin \ # path to grpc php plugin
  xray/proto/HandlerService.proto \ # some .proto files
  xray/proto/proxy/vless/inbound/config.proto \ # .proto files

You need to have GRPC compiled, then it'll generate php files regarding to protobufs

Final code use will be something like this

$grpcOptions = [
   'credentials' => ChannelCredentials::createInsecure()
];

$client = new HandlerServiceClient("{$server->ipv4}:{$server->port}", $grpcOptions);
$client->waitForReady(5 * 1000 * 1000); // microseconds

return $client->RemoveInbound(new RemoveInboundRequest([
  'tag' => 'vless-tcp'
]), [], [
  'timeout' => 5 * 1000 * 1000 // microseconds
]);

Thanks @amir-devman, I am familiar with gRPC, but there isn't an API available to retrieve a list of defined inbounds/outbounds/users. I'm looking for a method to access this specific list.

HandlerService is all you need to look for inbound/outbound management
you can add or remove outbounds or add/remove users from an inbound with HandlerService.proto

Xray-core/app/proxyman/command/command.proto

Line 59 in 2570855

service HandlerService {

As I've looked into xray-core source code I've only found this helpful for managing inbounds/outbounds/users

Only thing you can find on Project X document is ReflectionService API that only mentions what services are available which
one of them is HandlerService which you need.

I hope this helps.

@miladrahimi There's also another document with examples(golang):

I was hoping for a method or API, perhaps named listInbounds, that would allow me to view the inbounds already added. Unfortunately, such a feature seems to be missing. Nevertheless, I believe that there must be some alternative method.

@Fangliding Since there is no "List of inbounds" implemented in the Xray gRPC, I think it's not completed yet.

@miladrahimi
Sorry, my fault

This is an important feature. Planning..

After all, how do I add clients to VLESS incoming connections? Use the HandlerService from this file

Xray-core/app/proxyman/command/command.proto

Line 59 in 2570855

service HandlerService {

? And use the AlterInbound() method?
