API Some Missing Values

[vatasoyy]

Hello,

I am conducting research using the Check Point API, but I couldn't find some specific values in the responses returned by the API endpoints. I would like to ask for your guidance on how to retrieve this information—whether through the API or another method.

1. When I retrieve a firewall object via the API, I cannot see the activation mode information for blades like IPS, Anti-Virus, and Threat Emulation. As you know, in Smart Console, when editing a firewall or cluster, it's possible to set the activation mode of these blades to "According to Policy" or "Detect Only". I need to retrieve this configuration via the API.

   

    

   
   The API endpoint I used for this, along with "details-level": "full", is: web_api/show-gateways-and-servers

2. Similarly, when I retrieve Threat Prevention profiles via the API, I cannot access detailed settings for blades like Anti-Virus—such as protected scope, file types, and protocol.
   
   

   

    

   The API endpoint examined in this case, also with "details-level": "full", is: /web_api/show-threat-profile

Unfortunately, not everything in the UI is available through the API, particularly related to gateway objects.
The API is updated as part of new versions and sometimes via JHF.

However, the information may be accessible via API using the generic-object API.
