Okay, I have been trying to connect to the REST API but have fallen short… I’m unclear on which URL I need to target or if the port is actually required.
It seems that even with authenticating (I’m using RStudio and also cURL to test), it returns the login page XML but not any information. When I try to add the :52311 it says connection refused…
In addition to the reply from @JasonWalker you can also hit the URL from your browser to validate the URL is correct. It should give you a login prompt
More than likely a firewall rule blocking the traffic, or a proxy config on the browser.
It’s very common to block direct traffic to the BigFix server. Start from a machine running the BigFix Console - we use the same port for the API as for the Console, so if the Console can connect the API should too.
