How do I retrieve the ip of an API interface?

[Hyjaal]

Hello everyone :)

As the name suggests, I'm trying to recover the ip addresses of my fortigate's interfaces.

I found this command but it only returns the interface name: /api/v2/cmdb/system/interface/Overlay-A/

"results": [
{
"name": "Overlay-A",
"q_origin_key": "Overlay-A",
"q_limited_permission": true
}
],

I've seen in the GUI via the API Preview button that there are formats with ip, remote-ip, etc. fields, but the following command doesn't return anything satisfactory: /api/v2/cmdb/system/interface/Overlay-A?format=ip

"results":[
{
"q_limited_permission":true
}
],

Can you please help me with this?

Hello @Hyjaal ,

If you send a request to your FortiGate like that you can access all interface configurations. 

https://x.x.x.x/api/v2/cmdb/system/interface?access_token=<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE>

If you want to get specific interface configuration detail, you can use this request.

https://x.x.x.x/api/v2/cmdb/system/interface/<INTERFACE_NAME>?access_token=<YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE>

I think my command is wrong because I always get the same thing despite several syntaxes:

Here is my commands :

#Recovering the token
curl -k -c fgtcookies_fg -d username=apiuser -d secretkey=apiuser https://X.X.X.X/logincheck

#Recovery of Overlay-A interface IP address
curl -s -b fgtcookies_fg -k -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://X.X.X.X/api/v2/cmdb/system/interface/Overlay-A?access_token=<token>

Hello @Hyjaal ,

I tried with these curl commands, I can get my interface list with no problem.

curl -k -i -X POST https://x.x.x.x/logincheck -d "username=<USER_NAME>&secretkey=<USER_PASSWORD>" --dump-header headers.txt -c cookies.txt


curl -k -i -X GET https://x.x.x.x/api/v2/cmdb/system/interface -b headers.txt

Hello @ozkanaltas,

I confirm that I get the information I want.

I'll find out what's wrong with my order.

Thank you and have a nice day :)
