Add IT-Assets with CMDB API
Good day,
i need to add multiple IT Assets through the CMDB API with the PowerShell Invoke-RestMethod.
I'm currently trying to connect and add very basic workstation
- $url = "https://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/api/cmdb/ci/"
- [xml]$input_data = Get-Content -Path 'c:\Scripts\workstation.xml'
- $body = @{OPERATION_NAME = 'add';TECHNICIAN_KEY = 'XXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX';format = 'xml';INPUT_DATA = $input_data;}
- [xml]$return = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Post -Headers $header -Body $body
- $return.OuterXml
Its very similar to the phyton example in the documentation
I always get the following response from the API:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<API version="1.0">
<response>
<operation name="add">
<result>
<statuscode>3001</statuscode>
<status>Unbekannter Fehler.</status>
<message>Error when processing request - A JSONObject text must begin with '{' at 1 [character 2 line 1]</message>
</result>
</operation>
</response>
</API>
I have no idea what's the problem and have been testing for days now.
i would be very thankful for any help.
The Workstation.xml looks like this, basicly copied first line from the documentation and validated it with w3schools validator
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<API version='1.0' locale='en'>
<records>
<record>

</records>
</API>
