Why API REST and api.get() don't return the same info sometimes ?

[fel-x 7]

Hello

I'm working on a QA involving icons and I'm displaying some of them in the Webview.

As I was looking for a way to retrieve the path of native icons, I was surprised to notice that REST API for icons (BOX_IP/api/icons) returns the full ICONS.JSON (with ALL icons data, both native and custom), while api.get("/icons") only gave me a little info about 19 "special" icon sets (mainly FGKF, FGGC, FGPB, FGCD, usbPort).

 

I immediately compared REST API for devices (BOX_IP/api/devices) and api.get("/devices") : they both return the same info. I get all my devices and their info both ways.

Than I compared REST API for rooms (BOX_IP/api/rooms) and api.get("/rooms") : they both return the same info again. I got all my rooms and their info both ways again.

 

So I my quest for native icons info through api.get() I'm wondering whether I did something wrong or if this a voluntary restriction for icons ?

I can't find further information through the swagger.

 

thanks

If you set the header
["X-Fibaro-Version"] = "1"
you get the restricted return, plain list of icons. It seems like api.get sets that by default.
If you set it to 
["X-Fibaro-Version"] = "2"

you get the full list divided up on device/room/scene
It doesn't seem like the swagger api honors the x-fibaro-version but always calls with "2"...

But if you try

Thanks @jgab

This works quite well. I was tricked by the swagger that never returned the full list.

You maybe inverted ["X-Fibaro-Version"] = "1" and ["X-Fibaro-Version"] = "2" in your explanation I think, because my swagger sets 'X-Fibaro-Version: 2' whatever I try.

Anyway, the net.HTTPClient() works well !! 👍
