New to APIs - getting the department a machine is assigned too

[cwaldrip]

I've read through https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=5968 and I've looked at the apiFrontPage.rest page. I can see how I can get things like a list of departments, but how can I get the department a machine is part of?

I'm working on a shell script that will hopefully be using different registration codes to register the app based on the department the machine is part of.

#!/bin/sh

## API details with computer read privs
apiUser="apiusername"
apiPass="apipassword"
jssURL="https://your.jss.com:8443"

## Get the computer's name
compName=$(scutil --get ComputerName)

## Possible strings to use below:
##  "username"
##  "real_name"
##  "email_address"
##  "position"
##  "phone"
##  "department"
##  "building"
##  "room"

section="department"

LocationData=$(curl -H "Accept: text/xml" -sfku "${apiUser}:${apiPass}" "${jssURL}/JSSResource/computers/macaddress/$(networksetup -getmacaddress en0 | awk '{print $3}')/subset/location" | xmllint --format - 2>/dev/null | grep "<${section}" | awk -F'>|<' '{print $3}')

echo "$section assigned to $compName is: $LocationData"
