OCS REST API // retrieving capabilities

sickherold · January 28, 2020, 4:41pm

Hi there,

I am trying to automate some stuff using the REST API but am struggling to get even the simplest example from the manual to work. This command returns nothing:

curl --silent -u admin:admin \ 'http://localhost/ocs/v1.php/cloud/capabilities?format=json'

Does the API has to be enabled somehow or is it possible it was disabled during installation? (I did not setup the install). Couldn’t find any relevant information in the manual/forums

Best,
Julian

Your post is missing an error message, what happens with your curl request?

I just tried it inside a stock docker-compose setup and ran into the following problem:
