Hi,

here my config snippet to use the API.

I have attached my curl command also.
The Curl command snipped is copied from the latest docu

set service https api keys id vyos key ‘key’
set service https api port ‘443’
set service https certificates certificate ‘vyostest’
set service https virtual-host vyos listen-address ‘*’

PS C:\> curl.exe -k --location --request POST 'https://10.10.0.144/retrieve' --form data='{"op": "showConfig", "path": []}'  --form key='key' -vvv
Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.

Change IP to domain name. Since the nginx only work with domain as a revese proxy server. With only IP address, Nginx can’t redirect your request to api serivice.
