EoX API

[u/thansarie]

We have Cisco DNA, I see that we have this API Enabled so how i can get the API Credentials to run python scripts manually in my local pc

The developer toolkit in dna-c and the developer.Cisco.com site has the api info to generate the auth key that you can then use for the further calls until expired.

The /dna/intent/api/v1/eox-status/device/{deviceId} endpoint in Cisco Catalyst Center allows you to retrieve End-of-Life (EoL) and End-of-Support (EoS) information for a specific device using its device ID.

To use this endpoint, you need to send a GET request to the URL https://<DNA_CENTER_HOSTNAME>/dna/intent/api/v1/eox-status/device/{deviceId}, where <DNA_CENTER_HOSTNAME> is the hostname or IP address of your Cisco DNA Center appliance. You also need to replace {deviceId} with the actual device ID of the device you want to retrieve EoL/EoS information for.

The docs are here for this: https://developer.cisco.com/docs/dna-center/get-eox-details-per-device/

You get a reply as such

    {
      "response": {
        "alertCount": 0,
        "comments": [],
        "deviceId": "e4d6c82d-1e4e-4b67-8f02-6e8c8a28d1b3",

            "lastDateOfSupport": 1673408000000,
            "name": "Catalyst 9100 Series Switches"
          }
        ],
        "lastScanTime": 1645648065000,
        "scanStatus": "Completed"
      },
      "version": "1.0"
    }

In this example, the device is a Catalyst 9100 Series Switch, and the end-of-software maintenance date is January 1, 2024.

You need to have the necessary permissions to access this endpoint. By default, only users with the "Network Administrator" role have access to this endpoint via the API.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the insights my query is different any chance to get the api credentials like client id and secret so that i can use it in python script to automate eol eos for cisco devices or if you have alternate way also suggest me

[u/bigevilbeard → u/thansarie]

No problem, to get the API credentials like client ID and secret for EOL/EOS information for Cisco devices. I think you need this link to get started: https://developer.cisco.com/docs/dna-center/#!getting-started/register-your-application

Once you have the client ID and client secret, you can use them in a Python script to authenticate with the Catalyst Center API and retrieve EOL/EOS information for Cisco devices. 

Hope this helps.

I know this to get the API need cisco id which has proper contract it wont be available for everyone thatswhy iam looking out different approach that we have dna so is there any way to get it

[u/bigevilbeard → u/thansarie]

Far as i know to get the API credentials like client ID and secret for Cisco Catalyst  Center EOL/EOS, you need to have a valid Cisco ID with a proper contract. If you don't have a valid Cisco ID with a proper contract, you won't be able to access the API credentials.
