fortigate-api

Python package to configure Fortigate (Fortios) devices using REST API and SSH. With this package, you can change objects in the Fortigate. The most commonly used Objects are implemented in the FortigateAPI methods, but you can manipulate any other objects that can be accessed through the REST API using the Fortigate methods. You can also get and change the Fortigate configuration through SSH.

Main features:

REST API to create, delete, get, update objects. Move policy before, after other policy
Session-based (user, password) and Token-based authentication
SSH Netmiko connector to work with CLI commands
Usage examples in ./examples

Requirements

Python >=3.8

Installation

Install the package from pypi.org release

pip install fortigate-api

or install the package from github.com release

pip install https://github.com/vladimirs-git/fortigate-api/archive/refs/tags/1.2.2.tar.gz

or install the package from github.com repository

pip install git+https://github.com/vladimirs-git/fortigate-api

Objects

The objects implemented in FortigateAPI. To get an idea of the objects, you can change the hostname in the following URLs and look it in the Fortigate web management interface. The first URL is for the Web GUI, the second one is for the REST API. Not all object implemented in FortigateAPI (only the most used by me), access to any other objects is available via Fortigate.
