Nitr

Nitr is a lightweight utility designed to grab system information and make it available via JSON API. In other words, the tool can gather highly available hardware and software information about a given workstation. The data can include details about RAM, CPU, disks, network, processes, so on and so forth.

Running the tool can be done in two different ways, namely by double clicking on the file – based on your CPU architecture – or executing it directly in Command Line or PowerShell. Nevertheless, the result is the same and the tool opens a web panel set by default to listen to port 8000. On a side note, use the default 123456 password to access the panel. The web panel displays information about the name of the PC, platform, IP address, port and generates an API key. The same information is available via the QR code present on the same page.

It is worth mentioning that requesting system information can be done via the API endpoints, as the tool relies on HTTP Get Method. A specific API is required to access and retrieve the information, API that can be found in the main panel. The API key can be changed at any time, but take note that all active queries will be canceled.
