URL triggered CSV export site-script specifically for Device to IP

  • Updated

Here is a script designed to send the Device to IP csv to an email address which can be triggered by http/curl command.

What this script will do is either:

  • you set a default email address in the script under $mail_to and when you run the script it will send to the csv file to that email address
  • or you can set the email address in the http call and it will send to the csv file to that email address.

The http calls will look like the following:

Default email address set under $mail_to: 

http://10.x.xx.2/api-script?password={password};function=web_Email_Device_to_IP_CSV; 

Or with an email address added(this overrides the default email address in the script):

http://10.x.xx.2/api-script?password={password};function=web_Email_Device_to_IP_CSV;email_address=example@emailAddress.com

 

This script can also be run under the site-scripting page as well for testing.  Just ensure that the $mail_to variable is populated with a valid email address.

**Note** When using the http call please ensure that you go to "Admin"-->"API"-->"Web api settings" and set "Site Script Functions" to on.  Also ensure that you have the user api-rw set up with a password.
