Formating REST API Post in Python

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to send a POST request to restart a phone using python:requests-module to the API and getting either "400 Bad Request" or "4000 Invalid input parameters.

This is the request.

reb = requests.post('https://10.10.10.10/api/v1/mgmt/safeReboot', json, auth=('username','password'),)

Not sure what I'm missing, but any help is appreciated.

I got this from the following document.

Using the "ucsoftware-restapi.pdf",

Thank you for your response, I've read those documents and they only say post "None" or nothing to the url - https://x.x.x.x/api/v1/mgmt/safeRestart

I'm sending:

reb = requests.post('https://x.x.x.x/api/v1/mgmt/safeReboot', "Content-Type: application/json", auth=('username','password'))

keep getting code 400 or 4000. I can issue a GET request, but for some reason I can't sent a POST. I'm not using powershell.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim-D,

Hello @Jim-D 

you are using an unsupported software. Update to a currently supported software for your phone model and then test one of the examples. CURL or Power Shell and then you can work your way back with Python

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately this is the version of software on the 2000+ phones. I can not change that at this time.

I did try the powershell commands on a test windows pc and it does work, so I know the phones will respond to a saferestart api request. What I need help with is how to put that into a python request so the phone will do the same thing.

Thanks,

Figured it out.

reb = requests.post('https://x.x.x.x/api/v1/mgmt/safeRestart', headers={'Content-Type' : 'applicaation/json'}, auth=('username','password'), verify=False)

I appeciate your help.
