Juniper Networks Sites Maps - Auto-placement API

### AP Auto-PlacementAP Auto-Placement is a feature in Juniper Mist wireless assurance that automatically determines and sets the positions of Access Points (APs) on a floorplan.It saves time and simplifies the deployment process by eliminating the need for manual placement. The autoplacement algorithm calculates the most probable location for each AP based on factors such as signal strength and coverage requirements. The confidence level of the autoplacement is indicated by colors, with green representing high certainty, orange indicating medium certainty, and red suggesting low certainty. In cases where aps are isolated or cannot communicate with nearby aps, they cannot be placed automatically and must be [manually positioned on the floorplan]($e/Sites%20Devices/updateSiteDevice). After the autoplacement process is complete, the results can be evaluated and accepted of rejected with the API Call [Confirm Site AP Localization Data]($e/Sites%20Maps%20-%20Auto-placement/confirmSiteApLocalizationData)### AP Auto-OrientationAp Auto-Orientation is a feature in juniper mist wireless assurance that allows users to check and correct the orientation of Access Points (APs) on a floorplan. This feature is supported by specific ap models and requires a firmware dependency of version 0.14.28310 or higher and does not require a maintenance window and can be used after performing autoplacement. To use auto-orientation, physically install the APs, claim or adopt them into the Juniper Mist organization, place them on the floorplan, and perform auto-placement, then trigger the [Start Site Ap Auto Orientation API call]($e/Sites%20Maps%20-%20Auto-placement/startSiteApAutoOrientation)After 24 hours, the rotation in degrees of the AP(s) will be updated. users can accept or deny the changes made by the auto-orientation feature with the API Call [Confirm Site AP Localization Data]($e/Sites%20Maps%20-%20Auto-placement/confirmSiteApLocalizationData).

Authentication & Security 2

Juniper Networks Sites Maps - Auto-placement API declares 2 security schemes for authenticating requests. An API key is passed in the header as Authorization (apiToken). An API key is passed in the header as X-CSRFToken (csrfToken). By default, every request must be authenticated.

  • apiToken — Preferred authentication method for automation and integrations. Send the API token in the HTTP Authorization header. Format: Authorization: Token {apitoken} N…
  • csrfToken — Session-based authentication for browser or login/password flows. After a successful [Login]($e/Admins%20Login/login) request, Mist returns a csrftoken cookie.…
