  • 1.  RESTAPI for classifying software

    Posted Thu June 15, 2023 09:11 AM

    The documentation is light on examples. Can you please illustrate the correct format of the curl command -- similar to below.  I can extract the software inventory but have had issues with the PUT command - a likely syntax issue.

    curl -k -v -X PUT https://127.0.0.1:9081/api/sam/v2/software_instances?token=758b14ae635a3b21e5c9316ab74145989b35af73 -d { "rows": [{ "instance_id":1,"product_release_guid": xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx,"metric_id":4,"is_confirmed":1}]} -o c:\temp\Software_Updates.json

    Hello William,

    Your 'software_instances' API syntax looks ok as far as ILMT is concerned...

    But, as I can see you are using Windows box, so, ALL those double quotes characters need to be escaped (\) when using curl :
    \"rows\": ....

    That restriction doesn't exist on Unix based curl...


    Personally, I propose to put this json structure into some file (let's say test.txt):
    {
        "rows": [
          {
             "instance_id":1,
             "metric_id":4,
             "product_release_guid":"xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx",
             "is_charged":1
           }
        ]
    }

    and use that as an input to curl command :

    curl -k -v -X PUT https://127.0.0.1:9081/api/sam/v2/software_instances?token=xxx  -d @test.txt
