Technical Tip: Exporting Collector inventory events via API when the number of records exceeds 100

Description

This article describes how to export Collector inventory events using the FortiEDR API with Postman when the number of returned records exceeds the default limit of 100 events.

Scope

FortiEndpoint, FortiEDR.

Solution

By default, API inventory queries return a limited number of records per request of 100. When the total number of Collector Events exceeds this limit, use 'itemsPerPage=' and the number required to override the default value:100.

Example of API-user on Postman:

1. Example of the query if it is a standalone: 

https://ManagerURL/management-rest/inventory/list-collectors?pageNumber=0&itemsPerPage=1500

Replace ManagerURL with the target certificate manager link. 

2. Example of the query if it is a sub-organization:

https://ManagerURL/management-rest/inventory/list-collectors?pageNumber=0&itemsPerPage=1500&organization=Org1

'itemsPerPage=' indicates the number of events to retrieve (the default is 100 and the maximum value is 2,000). See Fortinet Endpoint Protection and Response Platform RESTful API.
