Installation

pip install hfortix-forticare

Quick Start

1. Authentication

You have multiple options for authentication:

Option A: CloudSession (Recommended for Multi-Service)

from hfortix_core.session import CloudSession
from hfortix_forticare import FortiCare

# CloudSession manages tokens for multiple services
with CloudSession(api_id="your_api_id", password="your_password") as session:
    fc = FortiCare(session=session)  # Auto-uses "assetmanagement" client_id
    products = fc.api.products.list.post()
    # Token is automatically managed and shared efficiently

Option B: Auto-Login with Credentials

from hfortix_forticare import FortiCare

# Auto-login with API credentials
fcc = FortiCare(
    api_id="your_api_id",
    password="your_password",
    client_id="assetmanagement"
)
# Token is automatically obtained and managed

Option C: Use Pre-Obtained OAuth Token

# Get token from FortiAuthenticator OAuth endpoint first
# https://customerapiauth.fortinet.com/api/v1/oauth/token

fcc = FortiCare(oauth_token="your_oauth_token_here")

2. Use the API

# List products with entitlements
products = fcc.api.products.list.post(
    serial_number="FGT*",
    status="Registered"
)

# Get product details
details = fcc.api.products.details.post(
    serial_number="FGT90D1234567890"
)

# Register a product
result = fcc.api.products.register.post(
    registration_units=[
        {
            "serialNumber": "FGT90D1234567890",
            "description": "My FortiGate",
            # ... other fields
        }
    ]
)

# List contracts
contracts = fcc.api.contracts.list.post()

# List licenses  
licenses = fcc.api.licenses.list.post()

# Manage folders
folders = fcc.api.folders.list.post()

# Always clean up when done
fcc.logout()

Type Safety

All endpoints use TypedDict for request and response structures:

# IDE will show all available parameters
products = fcc.api.products.list.post(
    serial_number="FGT*",     # str
    expire_before="2024...",   # str (ISO 8601)
    status="Registered",       # str
    product_model="...",       # str  
    account_id=12345          # float
)

# Response is also typed
assert products['status'] == 0  # int
assert isinstance(products['message'], str)
assert isinstance(products['assets'], list)

Rate Limits

FortiCare Asset Management API enforces the following limits:

• 100 calls per minute
• 1000 calls per hour
• 10 errors per hour
• Batch operations: Max 10 units, max 5 errors per batch

Rate Limit Tracking

Track your API usage to stay within limits (tracking only, no enforcement):

from hfortix_forticare import FortiCare

# Configure custom limits (all optional, defaults to None)
fcc = FortiCare(
    api_id="...",
    password="...",
    rate_limit_calls_per_min=100,      # FortiCare: 100/min
    rate_limit_calls_per_hour=1000,    # FortiCare: 1000/hour
    rate_limit_errors_per_hour=10      # FortiCare: 10 errors/hour
)

# Make API calls
products = fcc.api.products.list.post()

# Check rate limit status
status = fcc.get_rate_limit_status()
print(f"Calls last min: {status['calls_last_min']}/{status['limits']['calls_per_min']}")
print(f"Calls last 5min: {status['calls_last_5min']}")
print(f"Calls last hour: {status['calls_last_hour']}/{status['limits']['calls_per_hour']}")
print(f"Errors last hour: {status['errors_last_hour']}/{status['limits']['errors_per_hour']}")
print(f"Within limits: {status['within_limits']}")

Note: Rate limiting counters are informational only and do not enforce limits. They help you monitor usage and implement your own rate limiting logic.

Error Handling

try:
    result = fcc.api.products.list.post(serial_number="FGT*")
    
    if result['status'] == 0:
        print("Success!")
    else:
        print(f"API Error: {result['message']}")
        
except httpx.HTTPStatusError as e:
    print(f"HTTP Error: {e.response.status_code}")
except httpx.TimeoutException:
    print("Request timed out")
except httpx.RequestError as e:
    print(f"Network error: {e}")

Context Manager

Use as a context manager for automatic cleanup:

with FortiCare(oauth_token="...") as fcc:
    products = fcc.api.products.list.post(...)
    # ... use the client ...
# Automatically logged out

Configuration

fcc = FortiCare(
    oauth_token="your_token",
    base_url="https://support.fortinet.com",  # Default
    verify=True,                               # SSL verification
    max_retries=3,                            # Retry attempts
    connect_timeout=10.0,                     # Connection timeout (seconds)
    read_timeout=300.0                        # Read timeout (seconds)
)

OAuth Token Management

The SDK provides comprehensive OAuth token lifecycle management for long-running applications:

View Login Response

# See the full OAuth response
fcc = FortiCare(api_id="...", password="...")
response = fcc.login(force_refresh=True)

print(f"Access Token: {response['access_token']}")
print(f"Refresh Token: {response['refresh_token']}")
print(f"Expires In: {response['expires_in']} seconds")

Refresh Token

# Efficiently refresh token without re-entering credentials
# (faster than full login)
refresh_response = fcc.refresh_token()
print(f"New token expires in: {refresh_response['expires_in']}s")

Track Token Expiration

# Check time remaining
remaining = fcc.get_token_time_remaining()
print(f"Token valid for {remaining} more seconds")

# Check if expired or expiring soon
if fcc.is_token_expired(buffer_seconds=300):  # 5 min buffer
    print("Token expiring soon, refreshing...")
    fcc.refresh_token()

# Get comprehensive token info
info = fcc.get_token_info()
print(f"Created: {info['created_at_iso']}")
print(f"Expires: {info['expires_at_iso']}")
print(f"Time Remaining: {info['time_remaining']}s")
print(f"Expires Soon: {info['expires_soon']}")

Session Manager Pattern

For long-running applications, implement automatic token refresh:

import time
from threading import Thread

def keep_session_alive(fcc: FortiCare):
    """Background task to maintain valid token"""
    while True:
        if fcc.is_token_expired(buffer_seconds=300):  # 5 min buffer
            try:
                fcc.refresh_token()
                print("Token refreshed successfully")
            except Exception as e:
                print(f"Refresh failed, re-logging in: {e}")
                fcc.login(force_refresh=True)
        time.sleep(60)  # Check every minute

# Start background thread
fcc = FortiCare(api_id="...", password="...")
Thread(target=keep_session_alive, args=(fcc,), daemon=True).start()

# Your application continues...
while True:
    folders = fcc.api.folders.list.post()
    # ... process data ...
    time.sleep(300)

Examples

See EXAMPLES.py for more comprehensive examples.

Development

Regenerating the SDK

If Fortinet updates the API, regenerate the SDK:

cd packages/forticare/dev/generator
python generate.py --clean

This will:

1. Parse updated Swagger JSON files
2. Generate all endpoint classes with type hints
3. Create .pyi stub files for IDE support
4. Generate category and main init.py files
