Route Fetch Limits: Gaia API vs CPMI (show-routes)

Serhan_Mammadov — Thu, 26 Jun 2025 07:33:21 GMT

Hi, I wanted to confirm a couple of things:

We're currently using the CPMI method to fetch routes.
Is there a limitation on the number of routes that can be retrieved using CPMI?
If yes is there any way to increase that limit?
We're considering switching to the Gaia API:
POST https://<server-ip>:<port>/gaia_api/v1.8/show-routes
Are there any limitations here on the number of routes that can be retrieved?
From what I understand, we would need to handle pagination manually using limit and offset.
If the gateway has 10K+ routes, we should still be able to retrieve all of them in chunks, right?

Thanks!

Please elaborate on the "CPMI Method" you are using to fetch routes.

Meanwhile, the Gaia API should support what you need.

show-generic-objects request with the relevant classes

for example :

com.checkpoint.objects.classes.dummy.CpmiGatewayCkp
com.checkpoint.objects.classes.dummy.CpmiGatewayCluster
com.checkpoint.objects.classes.dummy.CpmiVsClusterNetobj
com.checkpoint.objects.classes.dummy.CpmiVsxClusterNetobj

body :

{

"limit" : 200,

"offset" : 0,

"details-level" : "full",

"class-name": "<class-name>"

}

If you're using the generic-object API, perhaps it also supports the limit/offset parameters.
However, the generic-object API is not supported.
