No project description provided

README

This repository contains a wrapper around Panorama/PaloAlto API. It also provides a cli tool: panorama_api.

Read the corresponding documentations:

• CLI documentation
• Library documentation

Why the need for this library ?

For simple resource retrieval, the existing API is enough, but:

• The libraries available are not practical for it, the manual management of urls is easier
• For more complex operation, this does not suits well

The official python SDK of PaloAltoNetworks itself relies on a third party wrapper for their API.

This library takes a more popular approach when wrapping the API, making it easier to use. It also provides types' wrappers to simplify their usage or utility functions to re-structure the data we receive. It provides a client for the REST API and for the XML API

• A simple client for the API (JSON and XML)
• Tool to manage the xml configuration

TODO

• Improve the documentation

  • Re-organize the methods
  • Add type hints
  • Find a place to publish it (move the whole project on a public repository on Github?)

• Provide wrapper classes for the resources.

  nat = NatPolicy(...)
  tree.insert(nat)  # or nat.insertInto(tree)
  client.create(nat.insert_xpath, nat.xml)
  

• Mix Rest API and XML API ?
