Reload

Reloading the skills might be necessary if you plug e.g. an USB device. It will only show up in the list of available devices if they are probed again.

Example:

Curl

curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/v3/skills/reload \
   -H 'accept: application/json' \
   -X GET

PyClient

from core_client import Client

client = Client(
    base_url="http://127.0.0.1:8080"
)
client.login()

client.v3_skills_reload()

GoClient

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/datarhei/core-client-go/v16"
)

client, _ := coreclient.New(coreclient.Config{
    Address: "https://127.0.0.1:8080",
})

err := client.SkillsReload()
if err != nil {
    ...
}

skills, err := client.Skills()
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", skills)
