calling logout() results in error 400

Hey,

for periodic requests to the unifi controller I made a script that logs in, fetches the required data and logs out. Everything works up to calling client.logout(), then I get the following:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 12, in
client.logout()
File "/home/sensor_bot/.local/share/virtualenvs/sensor_bot-ejTj32CH/lib/python3.7/site-packages/unificontrol/metaprogram.py", line 125, in wrapper

Hmm... I'm having the same issue right now. It's a bit perplexing. It sounds stupid but honestly I found it easiest to just delete the current client, and recreate it. I need to actually test it out with multiple controllers, as my use case it like five of them, but so far it seems I'm able to log in, delete the client, re-initialize it, and it works just fine. Not sure if I'll run into any issues but if I do I will write it down here.

I had the same issue with the logout function. I compared the function call to the PHP version and the PHP version uses the POST method. This library uses the GET message.

Adding method="post", to the definition fixed it for me.
