So far, I've managed to get an account configured to Azure through SmartConsole no problem.</P><P>I'm now trying to query it using the CME API using the CME API Postman collection. I'm able to successfully initiate a login event and obtain a session ID, however, when trying to run any other request like:</P><P><SPAN>get <A href="https://{{managementIP}}/web_api/v1.8/cme-api/v1.3.1/generalConfiguration/delayCycle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://{{managementIP}}/web_api/v1.8/cme-api/v1.3.1/generalConfiguration/delayCycle</A></SPAN></P><P><SPAN>I an error returned,&nbsp;"Missing header: [X-chkp-sid]" which makes sense, but if I add an appropriate header to the request with the value of the session ID (hardcoded or through the variable) I then get an error "415 unsupported media type".</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>I've hit a wall at this stage, and the official documentation doesn't offer any solutions. What am I missing?</SPAN></P> Wed, 18 Mar 2026 16:21:54 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Cloud-Firewall/Help-with-CME-API/m-p/273733#M6185 khodgson_bts 2026-03-18T16:21:54Z https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Cloud-Firewall/Help-with-CME-API/m-p/273740#M6186 <P>There's a script that supposed to take your session ID and put it in the environment variable as session-ID.</P> <P>Can you try and put it manually and see if this solves the issue?</P> <P>See in picture.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 18 Mar 2026 17:29:44 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Cloud-Firewall/Help-with-CME-API/m-p/273740#M6186 Amir_Senn 2026-03-18T17:29:44Z
