200-901 Understanding and Using APIs Practice Question
In Cisco DNA Center's intent API, which endpoint would you use to retrieve the list of all network devices?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
GET /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device
The correct endpoint is GET /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device. Other options are incorrect or refer to other areas like topology or site hierarchy.
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/topology
Why it's wrong here
The /topology endpoint returns physical and logical link relationships between network elements, not a device inventory. It is tempting because topology output references devices, but the response describes connections. Listing all devices requires the dedicated /network-device endpoint.
- ✓
GET /dna/intent/api/v1/network-device
Why this is correct
The network-device resource under /dna/intent/api/v1 returns the inventory of managed devices. Issuing GET against this collection endpoint satisfies the requirement to list all network devices, since the intent API exposes device inventory through this specific path.
- ✗
GET /dna/intent/api/v1/site
Why it's wrong here
The /site endpoint returns site hierarchy and building data, not device inventory. Device listings come from /network-device. It is tempting because sites group devices logically, but the API exposes membership through separate endpoints rather than the site resource itself.
- ✗
GET /dna/intent/api/v1/issues
Why it's wrong here
The issues endpoint returns detected network problems, not device inventory, so it cannot list devices. It is tempting because issue tracking is a core DNA Center assurance function, and querying it is correct when you need to retrieve open faults, health alerts or troubleshooting events for a site.
