The REST API token needs to be obtained from the FortiGate. Below is the link that has instructions on how to obtain a REST API token: FortiGate 7.4.8 REST API administrator Guide
The script below is an example to retrieve system status, which is equivalent to 'get system status'.
import requests
import json
url = "https://FGT IP/api/v2/monitor/system/status"
payload = ""
headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Bearer [API Token]' <----- Enter the token obtained from the previous step. Note that the Bearer should be kept and after that, the API Token should be added.
}
response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, data=payload, verify=False)
output = response.json()
print(json.dumps(output, indent=4))
The URL can be changed to retrieve different information from the FortiGate. It is recommended to use the certificate by removing 'verify=False'.
Below are the results of the script.
