Login (get session ID by access key and account email).
{
"access_key": "access-key",
"account_email": "email-address"
}
{
"result": "login",
"session_id": "session-id"
}
Call FortiClient EMS Cloud API.
{
"Authorization": session_id (the session id is returned by login),
"Ems-Api-Header-Content-Type": "application/json"
}
For example: For FortiClient EMS Cloud serial number API "/api/v1/system/serial_number", the URL will be: 'https://forticlient.forticloud.com/fct/api/public/v1/ems_api/api/v1/system/serial_number'.
Logout.
{
"Authorization": "session-id (received from the login API)"
}
