Access via Curl

• Creating the curl command line from the Admin API

Some AppNeta monitoring point models have a web hosted API for performing device management tasks. You can interact with the API via the interactive Admin API interface, programmatically, or via a command line tool like curl.

Creating the curl command line from the Admin API

To generate the curl command line from the Admin API interface:

1. Access the Admin API.
2. Navigate to the endpoint you want to use.
3. Fill in the appropriate fields.
4. Click Submit.
   • The Curl section displays the equivalent curl command line.
5. Copy the curl command line and paste it to a terminal command line (e.g. Terminal app on macOs).
6. Add authentication parameters.
   1. Add “ -k -u <username>:<password>” to the command line.
      • <username> - a username recognized by the monitoring point.
      • <password> - the password associated with the username.
7. Optionally, format the output.

   1. Add “

      python -m json.tool” to the command line.

8. Run the command.
   • The output is the same as that returned using the Admin API interface.
