Title: Trouble with using API
Post by: gertfriend on March 15, 2019, 02:36:57 pm

Hello,

i have trouble with the API.

I use curl. For now the following commands work:
curl -k -u "key":"secret" https://192.168.1.1/api/core/firmware/status
and
curl -XPOST -d '{}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k -u "key":"secret" https://192.168.1.1/api/core/firmware/poweroff

But none of the following commands work:
curl -XPOST -d '{"upgrade":"all"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k -u "key":"secret" https://192.168.1.1/api/core/firmware/upgrade
nor
curl -XPOST -d '{"address":"1.0.1.10"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k -u "key":"secret"  https://192.168.1.1/api/firewall/alias_util/add/BANNED

The result is always {"status":"failure"}.

And what should be posted to do a release update: 18.7 to 19.1

Thanks for any help

Sorry Franco, i didn't want nerve you and your team seen witch great work you do, i only thought that more people are using API and could help resolve the problem.

Now i resolved it. The problem was, that i was using curl from windows and windows has since ever trouble with quotas respectively double quotas so the solution for windowsuser is to enter change the -d in "{\"upgrade\":\"all\"}" so the single quotas should be replaced with double quotas and the double quotas will be escaped.

curl -XPOST -d "{\"upgrade\":\"all\"}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -k -u "key":"secret" https://192.168.1.1/api/core/firmware/upgrade
