Hi,
I am able to connect the class API to my instance by using url https://INSTANCEURL/api but not the universal by using https://INSTANCEURL/uapi. Not sure why?
Thanks
Steven

The Classic API docs are available from /api
while the basepath for interacting with it is /JSSResource
. The Jamf Pro API (formerly the UAPI) has docs available from /uapi/doc
and has a basepath of /uapi
.

Sam, Thanks for getting back to me.
I understand what you are saying that the URLs are different.
What I am asking about is that the classic API can be accessed in a way that it would access my instance of JAMF simply by appending /api to my JAMF instance URL.
My question is can the universal API also be accessed in a way that it will access my instance of Jamf and not the try out instance.

If you're going to https://yourproductionjamfpro.com/uapi/doc, that actually is accessing your instance of Jamf Pro and not the Jamf Developer try-it-out instance. The try-it-out instance only applies if you're going to developer.jamf.com
Maybe the confusion is the "model/model schema" area under each endpoint? That's just sample data, if you click on the "Try it out" button for each endpoint that'll use your actual Jamf Pro data.

Hopefully jamf will add this to the classic API so XML can be used.
