Print Page - Api calls fail reload

Title: Api calls fail reload_interface with 26.1
Post by: pickone on May 13, 2026, 12:58:59 PM

Hi!

In the past, I was using this to reload my WAN interface:

curl --cacert /ssl/opnsense.pem -k -u \
    "key:key" \
    "https://192.168.0.1/api/interfaces/overview/reloadinterface/wan"

Now, in the most recend Opnsense version, I see that `reloadinterface` has been changed to `reload_interface`, but it doesn't work. I have tried this:

Code Select

curl --cacert /ssl/opnsense.pem -k -u \
    "key:key" \
    "https://192.168.0.1/api/interfaces/overview/reload_interface/wan"

I only get message: "failed".

Does anyone know a solution for this?

This API used to help me change my external IP very VERY quickly using PPPoE as wan. Other API calls also change the external IP, but they are much slower.

That said, I would prefer to keep using the same API call if possible, but working correctly. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Thanks

It was reloadInterface actually, which is reload_interface in snake_case which is enforced since 25.7:
