Conductor API with Postman

Jerome Wintringer — Mon, 18 Mar 2019 02:10:10 GMT

Hello,

I'm new to API programming and would like to use Postman to connect to the Conductor to list/create conferences.

I cannot even connect with Postman.

From the API Guide I understood that I have to use authenticationUser and authenticationPassword to authenticate. Do these values have to be set in the header or in the body ?

Does the username and password need to be provided in quotes ?

Best Regards

Jerome

Hi there,

From using other Cisco REST APIs you will typically include the following header:

Content-Type : application/json

...and the body should include a json data structure:

{"authenticationUser": "<username>",
"authenticationPassword": "<password>"}

Make sure you send the request as a POST, and it should return you a service ticket.

cheers,

Seb.

Hello Seb

do you have an example of a complete request with header and body ?

Hi Jerome,

I'm not sure there is a way to encapsulate the parameters used in postman, so I've taken screenshots instead 🙂

Obviously the IP, and path in the URL will need to be changed to suit your environment...

cheers,

Seb.

I finally found a way to communicate with the Conductor. The conference management part uses RPC XML.

here is a basic example to enumerate the active conferences

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<methodCall>
	<methodName>conference.enumerate</methodName>
		<params>
			<param>
			  <value>
			    <struct>
				
				<member>
				<name>authenticationPassword</name>
				<value><string>api</string></value>
				</member>
				
				<member>
				<name>authenticationUser</name>
				<value><string>api</string></value>
				</member>
				
		        </struct>
		      </value>
			</param>
		</params>
</methodCall>
