200-901 Infrastructure and Automation Practice Question
Using the Cisco DNA Center API, an engineer wants to create a new site with building and floor information. Which HTTP method and endpoint should be used?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse POST with PUT or assume a 'create' suffix is needed in the endpoint, but Cisco tests the exact RESTful convention where POST on the base resource URI is the correct method for creation.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
POST /dna/intent/api/v1/site
The POST HTTP method is used to create a new resource on the server, and the Cisco DNA Center API endpoint `/dna/intent/api/v1/site` is designed to accept a POST request with a JSON payload containing site, building, and floor details. This follows RESTful conventions where POST is the standard method for resource creation, and the API documentation specifies this exact endpoint for adding a new 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.
- ✗
PUT /dna/intent/api/v1/site
Why it's wrong here
PUT is typically used to update an existing site, not create.
- ✗
GET /dna/intent/api/v1/site
Why it's wrong here
GET retrieves site information, not creates.
- ✓
POST /dna/intent/api/v1/site
Why this is correct
Correct endpoint and method to create a site.
- ✗
POST /dna/intent/api/v1/site/create
Why it's wrong here
The correct endpoint does not have /create; it's simply /site.
