Python and Wi-Fi
Last episode we talked about APIs at an introductory level. APIs are great to get information from wifi systems. Sometimes you’re working with a system that has no API such as an AireOS WLC.
In this episode, we’re talking about our journey into coding in general and where we’re at and why we are learning how to code.
What tools are we using?
- Atom
- Visual Studio Code
- Postman
- Cisco WLC 8540
- Mist cloud
- iterm2
The code we are writing:
- Connecting to WLC
- AP summary
- Extract information from Ekahau project files
- Retrieve online APs from a Mist account
