Hi @shznkym, looks like you are trying to pull non-policy object api/v1/host-switch-profiles with policy API.
Corresponding policy object would reside under API policy/api/v1/host-switch-profiles.
Sorry for the duplication of APIs, this is indeed confusing, however this is what we have today. Eventually all APIs are expected to move to policy and non-policy ones will be deprecated and then removed.
Hope this helps

The host_switch_profile should be rewritten in the document, as it is correct to specify the [path], not the [id].

id = "da09c60c-69f4-4729-a63b-6e506866aabe"
path = "/infra/host-switch-profiles/da09c60c-69f4-4729-a63b-6e506866aabe

Thank you, indeed documentation should be fixed
