Blocking internet access of specific device, by api call or command line

[davidnagy]

Hi, I am just looking for some info, that is it possible to programmatically block a specific device internet access (API calls or by command line)
Thanks in advance

If you go into Network Map/Clients and click on the device in question you can block it from there?

Yes, through the UI I am able to block, but I wanna do some automation regarding internet access of specific devices.

I guess it depends on how you're doing the automation. The GUI block just inserts iptables rules into the router's firewall. If you're running a script on the router (via SSH) then you can just mimic what the GUI is doing with your own iptables commands. There's no API access, just the command line.
