SDWAN API Response is not in JSON

Hi Team,

While making an API call to the SandBox SDWAN instance(Always On) using Postman response is not coming in JSON, It's coming as html.

In my request header is in Application/JSON only. Am I missing something here ? Thanks

Hey there, i update this postman collection https://developer.cisco.com/codeexchange/github/repo/CiscoDevNet/Postman-for-AlwaysOn-Cisco-SD-WAN and added the parameter you have (alarms). On my postman client, I have the option of changing the data format. You can do this by clicking on, pretty and updating this to JSON. See below.

Hope this helps!

Hi, Thanks for you response.

I am using the JSON only on pretty but it's coming as html only, please see snapshot here.

Do you think this is environment specific issue ? Can you share your request API headers. I kept it content type:application/json only

Sure see, below. You can grab the same environment file from the code exchange link I posted above. One thing is noticed from your output is you are doing a POST request, where I am trying a GET request,

I tried the POST requested with the following JSON body (Get 10,000 alarms from the previous six hours using the query below) No issues seen here.

{
  "query": {
    "condition": "AND",
    "rules": [
      {
        "value": [
          "6"
        ],
        "field": "entry_time",
        "type": "date",
        "operator": "last_n_hours"
      }
    ]
  },
  "size": 10000
}

Hi, Looks like some issue in my local environment only.

I tried in my colleague's system & it seems to be working fine as expected.

Just FYI, I am trying post call only.

Thanks for you support
