Technical Tip: Common REST API calls to use with FortiNAC

1. Getting the host record by the hostname parameter:
   
   

https://<FNAC_FQDN/IP>:8443/api/v2/host?filter=hostName==<hostname> 

2. Getting the host record by the logged-on user ID:

https://<FNAC_FQDN/IP>:8443/api/v2/host?filter=UserLoggedOn==<username>

3. Getting the host(s) associated with a user:

https://<FNAC_FQDN/IP>:8443/api/v2/host/for-user?userID=<username>

4. To GET the Hosts view via Postman (visualized view)

https://<FNAC_FQDN/IP>:8443/api/v2/host 

5. To GET the first host in Host view, the 'start' should be '0'. '1' will preview the second host entry.

The 'count' will display the user records after the 'start' based on the value entered. For example:

https://<FNAC_FQDN/IP>:8443/api/v2/host?count=1&start=0 
https://<FNAC_FQDN/IP>:8443/api/v2/host?count=2&start=3
