Thank you for the Postman collections. They are really useful for studying and testing the API.

It would be useful to have the link to the API documentation here:

Check Point - Management API reference

Very useful post!

Worth updating this with the recently released 1.6.1 version of the Management APIs:
https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/API-CLI-Discussion-and-Samples/postman-collection-1-6-1-API/m-p/... 

It has some great new APIs and is available with the latest JHF on R80.40.
