fortigate_api 1.3.2

Python package to configure Fortigate (Fortios) devices using REST API and SSH

fortigate-api

Python package to configure Fortigate (Fortios) devices using REST API and SSH. With this package, you can modify 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. Additionally, you can retrieve and modify 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

Fully documented on Read the Docs.

Quickstart

Install the package from pypi.org

pip install fortigate-api

or from github.com repository

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

FortigateAPI demonstration:

• Create address in the Fortigate,

• Get all addresses from the Fortigate,

• Get filtered address by name (unique identifier),

• Filter address by operator contains =@,

• Update address data in the Fortigate,

• Delete address from the Fortigate by name (unique identifier),

• Check for absence of address in the Fortigate,
