Hi I am making a script which requires me to call multiple devices so I wanted to know what is the maximum limit of number of API calls that can be made at a time on Fortigate so that its not overloaded.

Hi,

There is no explicit limit on the number of API calls that can be made by an authenticated user.

I highly doubt you can overload it, but fwiw we've manage dozen or so fgt with API and makes hundreds or thousands of GET/POST in a minute and never seen any issues.

I find the API to be quick but believe it or not a script upload is just as quick maybe quicker. Example

we push 8k host objects via API and then did the same with a script upload , the script was much quicker. Probably due to the overhead of TCP/HTTPS etc.....

Hi thanks for the help. Also wanted to ask if there is any throttling limitation or limitation per user for number of sessions?
