t3view

This extension will provide several system information via an endpoint. In the client-server model context it represents the server., _(*2)

Installation

composer require visuellverstehen/t3view
Open up the extension manager in the TYPO3 backend and active the extension.
Add a secret to the extension settings to protect the endpoint.
The endpoint is then available through /index.php?type=5996&secret=yoursecret

Endpoint

The endpoint is usally /index.php?type=5996 and secured with a hash / secret which is generated while creating a new instance in the backend. It will return a JSON object containing several system information, take a look at the example output below. The endpoint can be rewritten via RealURL, but it's not mandatory., _(*3)

Since TYPO3 9.5 LTS it is also possible to add Route Enhancer in your site configuration which removes the need of RealURL. Example:, _(*4)

routeEnhancers:
  PageTypeSuffix:
    type: PageType
    map:
      t3view.json: 5996

The endpoint is then available under /t3view.json?secret=yoursecret, _(*5)

Security

The endpoint is secured with a 60 character hash called secret. It is generated while creating a new instance in the backend using Laravel's \Illuminate\Hashing\BcryptHasher::make() method (learn more about Laravel hashing) which uses the PHP password_hash() function with the CRYPT_BLOWFISH algorithm., _(*6)
