Examples

Example of Accessing the API with cURL

The following example shows how to update a device group by submitting a PUT request on the REST resource using cURL. For more information about cURL, see Use cURL.

curl -X PUT -b sessionid.txt \
    --header "Accept: application/xml" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/xml" \
    "https://example.com:8443/rest/v1.3/inventory/deviceMgmt/deviceGroups/ID24"

The following shows an example of the contents of the request.xml file sent as the request body.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceGroup>
   <parentGroupFullName>HG1</parentGroupFullName>
   <name>testGroup</name>
</deviceGroup>

Example of Accessing the API with Python

The following example shows how to update a device group by submitting a PUT request on the REST resource using Python. This example assumes the cookie variable contains a valid authentication cookie. For an example of authenticating with Python, see Authenticate.

import requests
from lxml import etree
url = "https://example.com:8443/rest/v1.3/inventory/deviceMgmt/deviceGroups/ID24"
headers = { "Accept":"application/xml", "Content-Type":"application/xml", "Cookie":cookie }
data = etree.tostring(etree.parse("request.xml"))
resp = requests.put(url, headers=headers, data=data)

Example of the Response Headers

The following shows an example of the response headers.

Example of the Response Body

The following example shows the contents of the response body in XML format.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<deviceGroup>
  <fullName>HG1/testGroup</fullName>
  <id>ID24</id>
  <isHidden>false</isHidden>
  <name>testGroup</name>
  <parentGroupFullName>HG1</parentGroupFullName>
