Hi guys!
If i send a command via API to reboot a device i receive a JSON dict with this values:
```auto
{
"_id": "64d65a884e5008025b0081c3",
"name": "reboot",
"device": "00259E-EG8145V5-48575443XXXXXXXX",
"timestamp": "2023-08-11T15:58:00.131Z"
}
```
But i don’t know if device was rebooted or not only that task is sent correctly to GenieACS. From GUI if i send reboot to the same device that are offline i get an error `"00259E-EG8145V5-48575443XXXXXXXX: Connection request error: Unexpected status code 401"`
There is any way to know the result (in this case ‘status code 401’) of a task sent via API?
Thanks!!

401 is permissions issue. Likely you don’t have CWMP → CPE authentication setup correctly.
And to get a response from the api, you need to include the `connection_request` param in the URL.

Hi @akcoder, i will try to find any other method to get connection\_request response.
Thanks!

Necromancy is frowned upon. Please create your own thread instead of resurrecting an almost year old thread that is not related to your question.
