Web API run-script output no responseMessage result

[viet_le_minh]

Hi,

I've been working with R80.30 API with Python REST calls.

I'm trying to run script show SIC Certificate with command: cpca_client lscert -kind SIC

When I'm testing in Postman, everything OK. Here are the steps to test with Postman:

1) login

2) run-script:

{

  "script-name" : "Script Example",

  "script" : "cpca_client lscert -kind SIC",

  "targets" : [ "Test-SMC" ]

}

3) show-task:

{

  "task-id" : "b423063e-3d48-462b-9bc1-53f58b40b210",

  "details-level" : "full"

}

Then I write the script in Python. Here is the script:

import requests

import json

import base64

# 1. Login

# 2. Run Script

payload_run_script="{\r\n  \"script-name\" : \"Script show SIC Certificate\",\r\n  \"script\" : \"cpca_client lscert -kind SIC\",\r\n  \"targets\" : [ \"Test-SMC\" ]\r\n}"

headers = {

  'Content-Type': 'application/json',

  'X-chkp-sid': '{}'.format(sid_value),

  'Cookie': 'Session=Login'

}

response_run_script = requests.request("POST", url_run_script, headers=headers, data=payload_run_script, verify=False)

print(response_run_script.text)

task_id_value = (json.loads(response_run_script.text)['tasks'][0]['task-id'])

# 3. Show Task

payload_show_task="{\r\n  \"task-id\" : \""+task_id_value+"\",\r\n  \"details-level\" : \"full\"\r\n}"

headers = {

  'Content-Type': 'application/json',

  'X-chkp-sid': '{}'.format(sid_value),

  'Cookie': 'Session=Login'

}

response_show_task = requests.request("POST", url_show_task, headers=headers, data=payload_show_task, verify=False)

#Decode base64 from resonpeMessage

response_message = (json.loads(response_show_task.text)['tasks'][0]['task-details'][0]['responseMessage'])

response_mess_file = open("output.json", "w")

response_mess_file.write(response_show_task.text)

response_mess_file.close()

sic_cert_output = base64.b64decode(response_message)

print(sic_cert_output)

#Export SIC Cert output to file

sic_cert_file = open("SIC_cert.txt", "w")

sic_cert_file.write(str(sic_cert_output).replace('\\n', '\n'))

sic_cert_file.close()

When I run this script, the responseMessage field does not return a result. I had to try running the script 10 times to get the result one.

Please help me. Thanks.

You posted the solution yourself. Look at your output, it writes "progress-percentage" : 10" statusCode" : "in progress"

Your script needs to loop asking for the task-id until the response is 'succeeded'.

Dear Danny,

Great. I have tried to set time sleep 3 seconds, and the results came out.

Thank you so much.
