Python script to PUT computer in static group

[seb-marynicz]

Hi there,

So Im trying to create some python script to put computer into a static group through API, but somehow i cant get this working . I tried to use requests lib, with no luck. Does anyone one got some ideas how to do it?

Have you checked out GitHub? Jamf has some API scripts, maybe slightly outdated but I know there are others who have some api scripts out there as well. https://github.com/jamf/API_Scripts

This is the API script I use to add computers to static groups. Works pretty well

#!/bin/sh

#API login info
apiuser="Username"
apipass="Password"
jamfProURL="https://org.jamfcloud.com"

#Grab serial number and OS Version of computer
SerialNumber=$(system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | grep 'Serial Number (system)' | awk '{print $NF}')
macOSVersion=$(sw_vers -productVersion)

#update group with Group ID you want
GroupID="Group ID"
apiURL="JSSResource/computergroups/id/${GroupID}"

CheckIt=$(echo $macOSVersion | cut -d . -f 1)

#Add Computer to group based on macOS Version
if [[ "$CheckIt" == "11" ]]
    then

        GroupName=$(curl -H "Accept: application/xml" -sfku "${apiuser}:${apipass}" -X GET "${jamfProURL}/${apiURL}" | xpath -e '/computer_group/name/text()' 2>/dev/null)

    else

        GroupName=$(curl -H "Accept: application/xml" -sfku "${apiuser}:${apipass}" -X GET "${jamfProURL}/${apiURL}" | xpath '/computer_group/name/text()' 2>/dev/null)

fi

#XML header stuff
xmlHeader="<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>"

#API command to add the serial number to the Static Group
apiData="<computer_group><id>${GroupID}</id><name>${GroupName}</name><computer_additions><computer><serial_number>$SerialNumber</serial_number></computer></computer_additions></computer_group>"

#Mix it all together
curl -sSkiu ${apiuser}:${apipass} "${jamfProURL}/${apiURL}" 
    -H "Content-Type: text/xml" 
    -d "${xmlHeader}${apiData}" 
    -X PUT  > /dev/null

#Run an Inventory Update
sudo /usr/local/jamf/bin/jamf recon

sleep 5

exit 0

I solved my issue, thanks for help

@nelsoni and @Sebastian_Marynicz The xmlHeader line should be:

xmlHeader="<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>"

Including the standalone attribute isn't necessary, and can cause problems when making multiple API calls.
