pip install pyFortiManagerAPI

Getting Started

1. Creating Instance of the Module

import pyFortiManagerAPI
fortimngr = pyFortiManagerAPI.FortiManager(host="", 
                                           username="",
                                           password="")

Required settings:

• host: Management Ip address of your FortiManager
• username/password: Specify your credentials to log into the device.

Optional settings:

• adom: Default is adom=root.
• protocol: Default is protocol=https. If set to protocol=http, then verify=False is set automatically.
• verify: Default is verify=True. If your Fortimanager has a self-signed certificate, set verify=False.
• proxies: Default is an empty dictionary (which means: use the environement variables). If you dont' want to use proxies, even if they are defined in your environment variables, then set 'proxies' to false. If you want to use other proxies than defined in your environment then you go like this:

      proxies = {
          'http': 'http://10.10.1.10:3128',
          'https': 'http://10.10.1.10:1080'
