Making Your First API Call

This sample API call demonstrates how to access the Info APIs and retrieve WLAN information.

To make REST API calls:

Download cURL for your environment.

Tip
If you use Windows, use a Bash shell to make cURL calls.
Log in to the REST API server using administrator credentials.

Note
You must forward the session_id variable for authentication with each API call.

Use the GET method to access the wlan_info endpoint and fetch the IDs and corresponding WLAN names.

Sample Request

curl -X GET --cookie auth_token=$cookie http://134.141.242.93/nsight-ui/api/v1/wlan_info
