R81 API call for show-gateways-and-servers results in a generic error

[schulze1]

Hello,

we need to fetch the "gateways-and-servers" by an API call.

Actually the reply of the call is "generic error".

To test the API itself we used a different call "show-unused-objects", this returns the values correctly.

Any ideas why the cal results in a generic error?

Script:

#!/bin/bash

username="1234"

password="7896"

host="10.10.18.7/"

baseurl=https://$host/web_api

curl_cmd="curl --silent --insecure -X POST"

SID=`${curl_cmd} --insecure -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @- $baseurl/login <<. | awk -F\" '/sid/ {print $4}'

{

"user":"$username" ,

"password":"$password" ,

"session-name":"TACO"

}

.`

printf "/n"
printf $SID

outnb=`curl --insecure -XPOST "https://10.10.18.7/web_api/show-gateways-and-servers" --data-binary "{\"details-level\": \"full\"}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-chkp-sid: $SID" -O`
##Output generic error

outnb=`curl --insecure -XPOST "https://10.10.18.7/web_api/show-unused-objects" --data-binary "{\"details-level\": \"full\"}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-chkp-sid: $SID" -O`
##output ok

${curl_cmd} -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-chkp-sid: $SID" -d "{}" $baseurl/logout

I've tried your exact code on an R81 SMS, using curl_cli instead of curl and it worked for show-gateways-and-servers.

Running Take 65 if it makes any difference.

You might have a look at $FWDIR/api.elg and $FWDIR/api.csv where I could see such messages.

2022-05-11,10:34:43 +0200,"curl/7.61.1DEV","<removed>",login,PASSED,747
2022-05-11,10:34:44 +0200,"curl/7.61.1DEV","<removed>",show-gateways-and-servers,PASSED,1095
2022-05-11,10:34:48 +0200,"curl/7.61.1DEV","<removed>",show-unused-objects,PASSED,3687
2022-05-11,10:34:48 +0200,"curl/7.61.1DEV","<removed>",logout,PASSED,492

If something's wrong there you can try to restart the api service or depending of what happens create an SR.
