Cortex XDR - API Automation

L.Filloux — Thu, 16 Oct 2025 12:13:57 GMT

Hello,

I am currently trying to code a Script with Cortex API in order to check the version of the latest available Agent. I am talking the precise agent version not like 5.X but the 5.X.XXXX.
I haven't seen anything in their actual documentation, perhaps I missed something.

Hope someone can help me out

Thanks a lot!

Should be possible with this API: https://cortex-panw.stoplight.io/docs/cortex-xdr/30237841cb254-get-distribution-version

import requests def get_cortex_distribution_version(tenant_name, tenant_region, api_key_id, api_key): url = f"https://api-{tenant_name}.xdr.{tenant_region}.paloaltonetworks.com/public_api/v1/distributions/get_versions" headers = { "x-xdr-auth-id": api_key_id, "Authorization": api_key } response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json={"request_data": {}}) return response.json()
