How would I go about getting access to the fortinet rest api documentation?

Full API documentation is available on FNDN under the "FortiAPI" section.

Thanks,

So to create a new account you need 2 fortinet employees as sponsors. Not sure how you go about getting sponsored. Any ideas?

Just ask two Fortinet employees (Sales, Tec etc.) to sponsoring you. For me, I asked my accountmanager and one guy from the tecnical stuff.

I don't know anyone that works at Fortinet and we purchase our Firewall and Updates through our VAR.

@Yurisk or anyone can you answer a simple question for me? Is there a REST call that will return the results that map to the following command:

get vpn certificate local details

I have tried working with "api/v2/cmdb/vpn.certificate/local/" but it will not return any information related to the validity, fingerprint or serial number.

Hi Judd,

nope, you cannot get details of the certificates individually (AFAIK). You can get a list of certificates or download certificates as a raw data, not JSON formatted. You would need to use Monitoring branch of requests, not Objects branch of cmdb:

GET /api/v2/monitor/system/available-certificates/select/

GET /api/v2/monitor/system/certificate/download?mkey=Fortinet_Factory&type=local&scope=global

Using cmdb branch you can import certs, generate CSR, import CRL etc.
