MAC Registrations

You can use REST API calls to obtain information about existing MAC-registration lists and specific MAC registrations as well as to add a registration.

The following table lists the properties that can be used in the body of a MAC-registration request and/or are provided in the response body. (In the "Optional" column, if a default value is applicable, it is listed in angle brackets (< >)).

Example of Using GET to Obtain Information About a Specific MAC-Registration List

This example demonstrates how to obtain information about a specific MAC-registration list in your Cloudpath system by using the REST API GET call.

URI:

This example uses the following URI: 

 https://Jeff243.cloudpath.net/admin/publicApi/registrationLists/WorkflowRegistration-2de79119-f1da-4b7e-84b8-b0482911cae1/macRegistrations

where:

  • https://Jeff243.cloudpath.net/admin/publicApi is the root URI of the Cloudpath system being used (must include https, as shown)
  • WorkflowRegistration-2de79119-f1da-4b7e-84b8-b0482911cae1 is the GUID of the MAC registration list. This GUID can be found by doing a GET request on all the registration lists in the Cloudpath system. For more information, refer to Registration Lists URIs and Actions.

Request Headers:

The following table shows the required request headers for this URI example, with an example value of an active token that must be pasted into the Authorization header value:

Request Body:

No request body is required.

Action:
