Host and Client Api deprecated, what has replaced them ?

lowfell — Thu, 14 Jan 2021 09:01:21 GMT

Hello all. i'm following the excellent Net prog basics video course and in the troubleshooting module he mentions the use of the Host api to get a list of network devices from Dnac, he mentions that HOST Api is now deprecated and to use the Client api, but at the time the course was made the Client Api didn't give the same output as the Host Api.

Anyway i went on to the DNAC always on DEvnet Sandbox lab and tried to find the HOST and the CLIENT Api, but both seem to have disappeared?

Which Api has now replaced the Host and Client Apis?

Hello @lowfell i dont think this is a sandbox issue per say, i would suggest posting the live WxT devnet support space https://developer.cisco.com/site/devnet-chat/ - i will ensure the right folks see your message re the change in API. I think no official API exists right now for client, /host still works, but is not ideal. This would need to be confirmed with experts

The DNAC documentation is located here https://developer.cisco.com/dnacenter/

Apologies again i thought it wasn't really a sandbox issue, but it was the nearest community of reference i could find. Is there no community for this kind of query?

So should i be using https://developer.cisco.com/site/devnet-chat/ for this type of query, i'm really looking for a chew the fat round the camp fire type of place ?

Is there a Devnet Webex teams space where i can make kind of general type of queries?
