Find site / location for AP using DNA API

[koldfield]

How do I use the Cisco DNA Centre API to find the site / location for a specific AP?

I have tried the following API end points, but they don't return the AP site / location:

• /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device?hostname=...
• /dna/intent/api/v1/wireless/accesspoint-configuration/summary?key={mac}
• /api/v1/network-device/wireless/accesspoint/detail/?id={id from network-device above}

If I know the location I can get a list of APs in it using /dna/intent/api/v1/site?name=.*location-name.*

Using my browser developer tools to snoop on the DNAC GUI I can see that it uses /dna/intent/api/v1/graphql to retrieve the site / location. Whenever I try to use graphql from my script it always returns no results - {'response': []}. This may be because I don't know what to use for the X-CSRF-TOKEN cookie.

I'm not experienced with API's, but I suggest  just to look at the inventory  API , not AP configuration

Looking at the DNA documentation I can't see any inventory specific API calls.

Do you mean /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device? While I would expect it to return the DNA site / location, I can't see it in the response. Here is a typical response:

I've worked out how to get the location details for an AP - use the "device-detail" API call Specifically /dna/intent/api/v1/device-detail.

I've been told that "we are working on adding that [location] back to network device" - so maybe in a future version of DNA the location field will be populated in the network-device API call.
