API Call

ukohae — Thu, 14 Jan 2021 14:24:34 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to do an API call to get a report from a device or check the status of a device on SmartConsole Checkpoint. How can I accomplish this task?

What precise information are you trying to obtain?
Your version/JHF level will be helpful so we can tell you what options are available.

There isn’t a precise API to do that.
However, you can use the run-script API to gather whatever data you want.
Or, I believe you can also monitor this via SNMP.

Hi,

I'm trying to avoid using any software like Postman.

The goal is to use a python script to accomplish this. is it possible to do run-script API without using Postman?

Of course. Please look at the documentation at:
