#JAMF PRO CLASSIC API PRO#

Another common language Jamf customers and partners use to access Jamf Pro is Ruby.Information on python-jss can be found at. If you use Python then you're going to want to import python-jss (or at the minimum be aware of it). Python is one of the most common languages people use to access Jamf Pro programmatically.

Jamf doesn’t provide an official SDK for the Classic API, but our customers and partners have created several unofficial SDKs for various languages.

#JAMF PRO CLASSIC API SOFTWARE#

Grab an SDK (of sorts)Īn SDK, or Software Development Kit, is a set of development tools that allow people that write software to create applications for their development platform. Keep in mind that JSON is only supported for retrieving information from the Classic API, you’ll still need to use XML to perform PUT, POSTS, or DELETES. To do so, simply set the Accept header to “application/json”. Luckily, the Classic API supports receiving output in JSON. If so, then you likely don’t want to have to import libraries and modules for dealing with XML. Many of our customers and partners who are scripting events to run on a Mac will already have toolsets for parsing and serializing objects in JSON. Postman allows you to easily generate, save and parse API requests directly within a simple interface. Postman is an API development tool that is quickly becoming the de facto standard for building and interacting with REST APIs. That’s why we recommend downloading Postman ( ) to take things to the next level. While cURL is a quick and easy way to get started interacting with the Classic API, it can become a little cumbersome to use after a while. You should see an XML response that includes a listing of all computers in your Jamf Pro server.

#JAMF PRO CLASSIC API HOW TO#

Here is an example of how to use cURL to interact with the “Computers” endpoint of the Classic API: curl -s -u myserviceaccount:mypassword It’s very useful and convenient to use for interacting with APIs. cURL is used to get or send data using a variety of different protocols. MacOS comes with a great little command-line tool called cURL.

#JAMF PRO CLASSIC API CODE#

Our presentation will cover how it works internally as a simple alternative to the usual cURL usage usage example of workflows comparing using Jamf Pro web interface vs “ jctl“ and lastly advanced usage and package management including example os subcommands for specific object types, filtering making interacting with the API simple & easy.In addition to the API Reference, you’ll find some general documentation around how the Classic API functions and also some code samples that show how to perform common tasks in the API. It is similar to SQL statements, but far less complex. It allows performing Jamf Pro repetitive tasks quickly and provides options not available in the web GUI. The second project, “ jctl“, is a command-line tool that uses the “ python-jamf” library to select objects to create, delete, print and update. Later, it was split into two projects, “ python-jamf“, which is a python library that connects to a Jamf Pro server using Jamf Pro Classic API, including keychain support for Jamf Pro credentials via keyring python project, support for PyPi to support pip installation and currently supports 56 Jamf Pro record types which will expand in number as the project continues.

#JAMF PRO CLASSIC API PATCH#

Originally, it was on project “patch” that was focused on patch management including installer package management, patch management, including assigning package to patch definition, updating versions, version release branching (i.e. Our presentation was already recorded on Wed, Aug 11, 2021, and will be broadcasted on Thursday, Oct 21 at 1 :30 PM – 2:00 PM MDT and we will be available after the presentation to answer questions and feedback using the Virtual JNUC 2021 chat system. Anyone and everyone is invited to register for the virtual experience. The Virtual JNUC 2021 experience will be October 19 – October 21, 2021, and there will be no cost to attend the online keynote and sessions.
