Proxmox API - optional parameters

[Hyien]

how can i pass optional parameters to the rest API?
eg. GET /api2/json//nodes/{node}/network

this takes an optional 'type' parameter. how do i set this type parameter in a curl / wget query?

Hi,

For GET parameters you can simply use GET query parameters, for example:

curl https://pve.example.com:8006/api2/json/nodes/NODENAME/network?type=bridge -H 'Authorization: PVEAPIToken=USER@REALM!TOKENID=UUID'

For sending POST data one can use URL encoded form data, see https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Proxmox_VE_API#creates_an_lxc_container_.28with_the_given_parameters.29 for an example.
