Technical Tip: How to retrieve content routing elements from HTTP Content Routing Policy using REST API

Description

This article describes how to collect HTTP content routing details using the REST API on FortiWeb.

Scope

FortiWeb.

Solution

Before issuing the API call, a token for the 'Authorization' header is needed using base64. This is to pass the authentication of FortiWeb.

Using the API call 'https://<IP-OR-DOMAIN>/api/v2.0/cmdb/server-policy/http-content-routing-policy' will list all content routing elements in the FortiWeb, specifying its respective Server Policy, where it is associated and a server pool assigned.

Using the API call 'https://<IP-OR-DOMAIN>/api/v2.0/cmdb/server-policy/policy/http-content-routing-list?mkey=<POLICY-NAME>' is more specific as it will only display the content of a specific policy (defined in the parameter mkey); however, it will have additional details such as Web Protection Profile assigned to a route member.
