Cisco 200-901 Exam - Topic 4 Question 96 Discussion

An engineer is creating an API to automatically obtain specific zones from Cisco Meraki MV cameras. The data that is provided when the API runs must represent the current analytic zones that are configured on the cameras. The API must start automatically at 6 p.m. every day and save the data on a server for further processing. Which part of the HTTP request must be configured to meet these requirements?
B) request header with Content-Type set to 'application/json'
A) request body with Status Code set to '302'
C) request header with Content-Encoding set to 'application/xml'
D) request body with Content-Type set to 'application/xml'

The API must start automatically at 6 p.m. every day and save the data on a server for further processing. Which part of the HTTP request must be configured to meet these requirements?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

When creating an API to interact with Cisco Meraki MV cameras, the request header must specify the correct content type to ensure the server understands the format of the request data. Setting the Content-Type header to 'application/json' indicates that the request body is formatted as JSON. This is essential for APIs that expect JSON data for requests and responses.

Additionally, the API must be scheduled to run automatically at 6 p.m. every day. This can be achieved using a cron job or a scheduling tool like cron in Unix-based systems or Task Scheduler in Windows.

I think the request body is where we define the data format, but I can't recall if it needs to be XML or JSON for the Meraki API.

I'm pretty confident that the answer is B. The question mentions the data must represent the current analytic zones, so the request header with Content-Type set to 'application/json' seems like the right way to handle that.

Okay, I've got this. The question says the API must start automatically at 6 p.m. every day, so I'm guessing the request header is the part that needs to be configured to meet that requirement.
