REST PUT/POST call to create a device

[Nickolay Belchugov]

Hi team,

Is there a direct REST call to create a device or I have to do it via a service?

E.g.: curl -i -u admin:admin http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/config/devices/device/newDevice -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/vnd.yang.data+xml"   -T deviceProperties.xml

Thanks,
Nickolay

Hi Nickolay,

I gues this is what you where looking for:

mleske$ curl -i -u admin:admin -X POST -T device.xml http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/config/devices

Server:

Allow: GET, POST, OPTIONS, HEAD

Content-Length: 0

HTTP/1.1 201 Created
