I using an R80.30 Server Management

when i run script from my Python API i get this response

:
Login failed: APIResponse received a response which is not a valid JSON.

Someone can to direct me for which API i need to use...

Thank to all ! 🙂

You need to enable remote access to the API server.

Please provide exactly what you tried and the results of the various commands.
Note the Management API can only be enabled on a management server, not a Security Gateway.
