I've started to play around with the VMware SD-WAN (née Velocloud) API. I've had a lot of success with gathering information using basic GET requests but I've been struggling to understand using it for configuration. For example, say I want to change the management traffic override setting. According to the docs I need to send a PATCH request with a 'PatchSchema' array: VMware's example: { "PatchSchema": [ { "op": "replace", "path": "/softwareUpdate/windowed", "value": true } ] } This particular setting needs a DeviceSettingsLANManagementTraffic object, with both fields described as optional: { "override": false, "sourceInterface": "string" } I'm using Python's Requests library, but here is VMware's example using cURL: curl -X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"PatchSchema":[{"op":"replace","path":"/softwareUpdate/windowed","value":true},{"op":"remove","path":"/lan/networks/0"},{"op":"add","path":"/snmp/snmpv2c/allowedIp","value":"1.2.3.4"},{"from":"/lan/networks/0/interfaces/0","op":"remove","path":"/lan/networks/1/interfaces/1"}]}' https://{api_host}/api/sdwan/v2/enterprises/{enterpriseLogicalId}/edges/{edgeLogicalId}/deviceSettings My basic request is: body = json.dumps({"PatchSchema": {"op":"replace","path":"/lan/managementTraffic","value":{"override": True}}}) reqs = requests.patch(full_url, headers=head, data=body) I can confirm that the url and headers are correct since I can perform GETs to the same endpoint without issue, but the PATCH requests keep returning the same error to me: '{"code":"ValidationError","message":"Validation Error","errors":[{"message":"\\"value\\" must be an array","path":""}]}' VMware's own docs show that as a JSON object, with the particular value as a boolean. I've also tried the following for the body but they're all either invalid or return the same result: body = json.dumps({"PatchSchema": [{"op":"replace","path":"/lan/managementTraffic","value":{"override": True}}]}) body = json.dumps({"PatchSchema": {"op":"replace","path":"/lan/managementTraffic","value":[{"override": True}]}}) body = json.dumps({"PatchSchema": {"op":"replace","path":"/lan/managementTraffic","value":{"managementTraffic": {"override": True}}}}) body = json.dumps({"PatchSchema": {"op":"replace","path":"/lan","value":{"managementTraffic": {"override": True}}}}) body = json.dumps({"PatchSchema": {"op":"replace","path":"/lan","value":{"lan": {"managementTraffic": {"override": True}}}}}) body = json.dumps({"PatchSchema": {"op":"replace","path":"/lan/managementTraffic/override","value": True}}) body = json.dumps({"PatchSchema": [{"op":"replace","path":"/lan/managementTraffic/override","value": True}]}) I've tried to change other settings and apparently I just don't understand their documentation because I get the same error no matter what I've tried. Any ideas what I'm getting wrong?
