Hey Christine,

It is possible to also pass information to the API script using query parameters. (From DataMiner 10.4.1) You can find more info here: https://docs.dataminer.services/user-guide/Advanced_Modules/User-Defined_APIs/Defining_an_API/UD_APIs_Defining_a_new_API.html#user-input-data

E.g.: http://staging-agent-b3/api/custom/switchers/status?location=belgium&rack=A3

This will allow you to retrieve the value for ‘location’ and ‘rack’ inside your API script.
