HI there,

Adam Radford wrote some good blog posts regarding the APIC-EM REST API. Early ones covered working with the device inventory which may be of use:

I also wrote two myself, covering linking the device inventory and cross referencing it against the Cisoc PSIRT database:

Hi Seb Rupik,

For APIC-EM resources are available , I need for APIC-DC , REST APIs are available for APIC-EM but similar resources for Inventory Management is not available for APIC-DC (using sandboxapicdc environment) , if any resource available please share.

Thanks for quick reply

Hi,

We've just reset APIC host and https://sandboxapicdc.cisco.com/# is now accessible.

Bob

Ah sorry, I mis-read.

Check out the Devnet github repo, search for 'dnac' there are plenty of example scripts for DNA-C there:
