200-901 Cisco Platforms and Development Practice Question
A network engineer is using the Cisco DNA Center Intent API to retrieve a list of all sites. Which HTTP method and endpoint should be used?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse the singular and plural forms of the endpoint or using the wrong base path for the Intent API.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
GET /dna/intent/api/v1/site
To retrieve a list of sites in Cisco DNA Center, the correct API call is a GET request to /dna/intent/api/v1/site. This endpoint is part of the Intent API and returns all sites. Authentication is required using a token from the authentication API. Other methods or paths do not perform this function.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
GET /dna/intent/api/v1/site
Why this is correct
The Cisco DNA Center Intent API provides a GET endpoint at /dna/intent/api/v1/site to retrieve all sites. This endpoint returns a list of sites defined in the network hierarchy. It is a read-only operation that requires authentication via an X-Auth-Token header obtained from the authentication API. This is the correct way to list sites.
- ✗
GET /dna/system/api/v1/site
Why it's wrong here
The /dna/system/api/v1/ path is used for system-level APIs, such as authentication, not for intent APIs. The site API is part of the Intent API under /dna/intent/api/v1/. Using the system path would not return the list of sites and would likely return a 404 or 403 error. The correct base path is essential.
- ✗
GET /dna/intent/api/v1/sites
Why it's wrong here
The correct endpoint for sites in Cisco DNA Center is /dna/intent/api/v1/site (singular), not /sites (plural). Using the plural form would result in a 404 Not Found error. The API documentation specifies the singular form. Developers must use the exact endpoint path to avoid errors.
- ✗
POST /dna/intent/api/v1/site
Why it's wrong here
POST to /dna/intent/api/v1/site is used to create a new site, not to retrieve a list. The scenario asks to retrieve a list, so a GET request is appropriate. Using POST would attempt to create a site with the provided body, which is not the intended action and would likely fail if the body is empty or invalid.
