200-901 Practice Question: A network automation script uses the Cisco DNAC…
A network automation script uses the Cisco DNAC Python SDK (dnacentersdk) to retrieve devices. Which method correctly lists all devices?
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the exact method naming conventions in the SDK, and the trap here is that candidates confuse the generic Python list concept (e.g., `list_devices()`) with the SDK's actual method name (`get_device_list()`), or they assume a top-level method exists without the resource hierarchy.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
dnac.devices.get_device_list()
The Cisco DNAC Python SDK (dnacentersdk) uses a hierarchical method structure where the `devices` resource is accessed via `dnac.devices`, and the `get_device_list()` method is the exact SDK call to retrieve all devices from the Cisco DNA Center. This matches the official SDK documentation and the REST API endpoint `/dna/intent/api/v1/network-device`.
