Fortinet API to get FortiGuard Category Based Filters.

[BEAZUERO]

What's up, I'm trying to get the categories of each of the profiles that I have in web filter in the firewall, I'm using this statement "/api/v2/cmdb/webfilter/profile" it seems to work, but it only shows me filters with action block ( It only gives me the ID, but I don't know what object it refers to or where the dictionary is with all the IDs to know what filter and category it is) and the ones that have action allow it doesn't show them to me, is there a way to get all of them? Filters configured for a profile by the Fortigate API?

Thanks

Hi BEAZUERO

In the GUI I see that I have some categories such as allow in the profile, but through the API they are all block, do you know why this happens?

@BEAZUERO  Please make sure you are making the API call for the same profile you see in the GUI. If so, feel free to open a TAC case for further verification.
