Response format: JSON

Query Input

None

Body Input

None

Response / Parse

Receive: JSON: {"ssid","staEnabled","apPasswordSet"}

Parse: STA password is not returned.

Error Behavior

200 success

Example Call

curl -s "http://openhaldex.local/api/wifi"

Endpoint-Specific Engineering Notes

This section is intentionally unique for GET /api/wifi. Focus area: reading persisted Wi-Fi configuration and AP security posture. When integrating OpenHaldex at scale, this endpoint should be treated as a dedicated workflow step rather than a generic HTTP action.

Operational scenario: Read Wi-Fi config before editing to avoid overwriting valid credentials accidentally.

Domain vocabulary: sta-ssid, ap-password, credential-state, network-policy, ssid-visibility, wifi-config, ap-secure, saved-credentials, connection-profile, wifi-readback.

Common Mistakes for This Endpoint

Masking state ambiguity for empty credentials
Confusing AP password with STA password
Not showing enable flags clearly

Practical Validation Pattern

Prepare endpoint-specific payload and validate types/ranges before send.
Execute GET /api/wifi and capture status code + raw response.
Parse response and apply only validated fields to UI state.
Run a follow-up read (usually /api/status) to verify runtime convergence.
Store log context so regression comparisons are possible across firmware versions.

Reference Snippet

const wifi = await fetch('/api/wifi').then(r=>r.json());

Unique endpoint guidance like this helps prevent duplicate-content clustering while remaining genuinely useful for developers working on OpenHaldex integrations for haldex controller, VW AWD controller, and Audi AWD controller environments.
