Now  Test The API LoginsConnection

FromThis thefunction previousis pageto you created  an api account on your WAP control panel.  We are not testingtest the API connection usingto thatthe server via api userrequest credentials.

 Let's  use the following example api user credentials to  demonstrate the api login.itself.

Request Data 

apiuser=eenos_api    , you should use the created api user name 

apiauth=eenos123, you should use the password of the api user

API URL  = https://your-host-name:5555/api//test_connection/

SampleRequest URL

Post  URL = /test_connection/

Full URL = https://your-host-name:5555/api/test_connection/

Example Curl Command 

curl  -X POST -d "apiuser=eenos_api&apiauth=eenos123" https://your-host-name:5555/api/test_connection/

Output:

{"username"data":{"test":"eenos_api"Connection Success"},"auth"info":"API"}API Connection Success","status":200}

 If you could see  a similar result like below, your API logins are ok and working.  If you got any other error message , then you are using the wrong api logins or there is an error in connecting from your IP.
