Networks Web API - Can't update custom script

[akbr]

I am playing around with the REST API for RUT configuration.
I fail to add or update the SMS Utilities Rule of type ‘exec’ = Execute custom script

Updating a rule where the ‘script’ key is left out works fine

res = router.update_config(config=“sms_utilities/rules”, id=rule_id,
data={“data”: {“enabled”: “1”}})

Updating a rule where the ‘script’ key/value is included generates error 422

res = router.update_config(config=“sms_utilities/rules”, id=rule_id,
data={“data”: {“enabled”: “1”, “script”: "#!/bin/sh \n echo help "}})

Error: 422 Client Error: Unprocessable Entity for url: https://192.168.1.1/api/sms_utilities/rules/config/cfg2092bd

Adding a rule where ‘script’ key/value is included generates error 422

res = router.post_config(config=“sms_utilities/rules”, data={
“data”: {“smstext”: “test”, “enabled”: “1”, “action”: “exec”, “authorization”: “password”, “respond”: “1”, “script”: “#!/bin/sh \n echo hello”}})

Error: 422 Client Error: Unprocessable Entity for url: https://192.168.1.1/api/sms_utilities/rules/config

Must the script value be formatted in a specific way or is this a bug?

Thank you for your understanding.

@Matas

k you for your understanding

Thanks for the reply.

I just want to make clear that it has nothing to do with the script since all other setting updates that I tried works just fine.
The problem is that the Teltonica Web API for sms_utilities role does not accept a payload with the customer script key ‘script’ included. The documentation shows that it shall be a string value but when sending that you get Error 422 back.

So either it is something missing in the documentation or a bug when adding or updating a rule of type action.

To confuse with the Python code I shall reproduce it with curl to show what is working and what is not working.

@akbr

“data”: {“smstext”: “test”, “enabled”: “1”, “action”: “exec”, “authorization”: “password”, “respond”: “1”, “script”: “#!/bin/sh \n echo hello”}})

Apologies for misunderstanding you.

I don’t have a custom script to test this with, but I tried putting in the rule via a simple api call through the SSH, and seems like I was successful:

I found the issue.

The script must start with #!/bin/sh\n
In my script I used “#!/bin/sh \n“ which give an error.

A suggestion is to update the schema description for “script” with a note that the string must start with #!/bin/sh\n

Thanks, you can close this topic.

Thanks for sharing the solution! Apologies for the misunderstanding once more.
