General Discussion / Re: API for WOL with Curl

Hi HansJ
i was stuck at the same error message.

My solution was an python script:

Code: [Select]

import http.client
import json
import ssl

conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection('$OPNsenseIP:$Port', context=ssl._create_unverified_context())
headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Basic %Base64 Coded API and Secret Key%',
}
json_data = {
    'wake': {
        'interface': 'opt1',
        'mac': '00:00:00:00:00:00',
    },
}
conn.request(
    'POST',
    '/api/wol/wol/set',
    json.dumps(json_data),
    # '{"wake":{"interface":"opt1","mac":"00:00:00:00:00:00"}}',
    headers
)
response = conn.getresponse()

Save it as wol.py for example. Make sure you insert the right interface and MAC.

The python script ist auto generated from here: https://curlconverter.com/python-httpclient/
It will transform the OPNsense API key and secret automaticaly to Base64 for Basic Auth.

My original curl prompt was:

Code: [Select]

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type:application/json' -d '{"wake":{"interface":"opt1","mac":"00:00:00:00:00:00"}}' -k -u "$API-Key:$API-Secret" https://$OPNsenseIP:$Port/api/wol/wol/set


In Windows you have to install python from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/

When installing add python to system path global vars in Windows.

You can now start your wol.py via cmd or batch script

Code: [Select]

@echo off
python C:\pathtopythonscriptfile\wol.py
pause
