General Discussion / API for WOL with Curl
« on: April 15, 2024, 08:55:25 pm »
Hello,
I am a total noob here, so my understanding of all this just comes from copy/paste from the internet (and reading info on those site's) I am in no way a programmer
I need to wake up PC's that are on other VLAN's with WOL and since I cant get it to work with the ARP IP to send it to , I figured ill just do it with the build in WOL API.
I will leave my PC's correct MAC and server IP in here, I dont care about its 'privacy' but the API key's user and secret are edited in my code's.
I made a user that only has access to the WOL plugin, and made a API key and secret for it.
I currently am able to wake up ALL computers with this CURL command ;
This works, it boots up the PC's and in the command line I get there MAC adresses.
But I want to wake only ONE specific PC per command and I cant get it to work,
I found alot of info online and have been trying to make some copy/paste frankenstein code, but cant get it to work
stuff I tried ;
Most promising,
Not working stuff I tried;
another way I found online
)
I cant find a "real dummy's" guide on how to use Curl to make API calls on OPNsense (and I mean REAL dummy guide, one that assumes I know NOTHING about programming and ( and {
)
Any help or pointing to some good guides is much appreciated
