Hello Everyone! I am new here and need some help. I am trying to get help regarding GenieACS API. I tried my best to work with API after reading the online documentation but could not establish the connection with GenieACS via API. I am currently using the Curl method to get connected with GenieACS. I used this command from ubuntu command line curl -X GET -i http://my\_genieacs\_ip:3000/devices/  
and got following response  
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found  
X-Config-Snapshot: 5d158f31e996c72a1c13acb17  
GenieACS-Version: 1.2.13+240606fc80  
Vary: Accept-Encoding  
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8  
Content-Length: 9  
Date: Sun, 01 Sep 2024 01:20:46 GMT  
Connection: keep-alive  
Keep-Alive: timeout=5

I tried this too

curl -X GET -u admin:admin http://my\_genieacs\_ip:3000/devices/

and got “Not Found” response

I also tried  
curl -X GET -u admin:admin http://my\_genieacs\_ip:3000/api/devices/

and got  
“Forbidden”  
and tried this too  
curl -X GET -i http://my\_genieacs\_ip:3000/api/devices/  
and got following

HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden  
X-Config-Snapshot: 5d158f31e996c72a1c13acb17  
GenieACS-Version: 1.2.13+240606fc80

Why are you querying the UI? You need to query the NBI, which by default is on port 7557
