Cisco DNA Center PNP API - Unable to set AP hostname during claim

[osef]

Hello everyone,

I'm currently trying to use the API of the DNA center to claim an AP. It's working but I'm unable to set the hostname during the claim... 

I'm using dnacentersdk like this : 

configInfo = [{'configId': 'b6a0cea9-6819-44f7-9f78-1e7dfb8844f4', 'configParameters': [{'key': 'hostname', 'value': 'ap_meeting_room'}]}]

dnac.device_onboarding_pnp.claim_a_device_to_a_site(rfProfile="CUSTOM", type="AccessPoint",siteId="ab6ce17a-eb3b-41ec-96ef-4b76ea6073c9", deviceId="65dc7be2eae4536cdc0e888e", configInfo=configInfo)

The AP is successfuly claimed but the hostname is not applied and the AP is configured with the default hostname AP-XXXX-XXX-XXX

Can you help me ?

It looks like this is expected behavior. In the "Description" of the API it does not list configInfo as a "required parameter" for AccessPoints: 

https://developer.cisco.com/docs/dna-center/#!claim-a-device-to-a-site

In theory though, you can followup the pnp claim with a call to wireless/accesspoint-configuration API to apply the hostname to the AP.
