Automating Object Creation in Check Point SMS Using Available Services

[sjni01]

In this post, we will see how, through API services, you can use POST requests to create an object individually. We will go step by step, starting from how to configure and grant the appropriate permissions on the management server, and then confirming the object creation along with the tags applied to it.

Finally, the goal is to show the community that by using a powerful tool like Postman, you can create one or multiple objects depending on your needs. The idea is to spark curiosity: creating objects individually is clearly possible, but doing it in bulk is also achievable. Imagine having to create one network object, but instead of creating 39 in less than three seconds, as will be demonstrated but it could be hundreds or even thousands. Doing this manually would be nearly impossible and could take hours or even days.

Personally, this was very useful to me during a change control, where I had to create many objects in bulk within a limited time window due to the client’s internal policies.

This is a guide to confirm that it is possible and can be very useful. It is simply fantastic. I invite you to explore and dive into the API services available within the Check Point platform. Honestly, Check Point is fantastic.

Thanks for sharing this!
I also do a session regularly on using the API to do various things.

With pleasure, and thanks for sharing the link. I just saw something really useful in the 94-slide deck.

This whole ecosystem is very interesting. I’m still learning, and it never really stops.
