📖 Quick Examples

Firewall Management

from hfortix_fortios import FortiOS

with FortiOS(host="192.168.1.99", token="token") as fgt:
    # Create firewall policy
    fgt.api.cmdb.firewall.policy.post(
        name="Allow-Web",
        srcintf=["internal"],
        dstintf=["wan1"],
        srcaddr=["all"],
        dstaddr=["web-server"],
        service=["HTTP", "HTTPS"],
        action="accept"
    )

Batch Transactions

from hfortix_fortios import FortiOS

with FortiOS(host="192.168.1.99", token="token") as fgt:
    # Atomic batch operation
    with fgt.transaction() as txn:
        txn.add(fgt.api.cmdb.firewall.address.post, name="server1", subnet="10.0.1.1/32")
        txn.add(fgt.api.cmdb.firewall.address.post, name="server2", subnet="10.0.1.2/32")
        # Both addresses created or both rolled back on error

Async Support

from hfortix_fortios import AsyncFortiOS

async with AsyncFortiOS(host="192.168.1.99", token="token") as fgt:
    status = await fgt.api.monitor.system.status.get()
    addresses = await fgt.api.cmdb.firewall.address.get()
