Delete URL from URL Category using api

LeighV — Mon, 09 May 2016 05:27:54 GMT

I'm wanting to be able to delete specific URLs from Objects -> Custom Objects -> URL Category using the api. I have refered to an existing post here that offers a solution however, I am getting an error when I run the command. My command running on PAN OS 6.1.9 is:

panxapi.py -d "/config/devices/entry/vsys/entry[@name='vsys1']/profiles/custom-url-category/entry[@name='Blocklist - Mine']/member[text()='pufikshop.ru/css/index.php']"

The response I get is:

delete: success [code="20"]: "Object doesn't exist"

The specific URL is still listed in the URL list.

Any suggestions? Also, I would like to know if there is a way to empty all entries from the Blocklist - Mine URL category without deleting the category itself.

Thanks

Leigh

I think your XPath for the object may be a bit off.

Original:

/config/devices/entry/vsys/entry[@name='vsys1']/profiles/custom-url-category/entry[@name='Blocklist - Mine']/member[text()='pufikshop.ru/css/index.php']

New:

/config/devices/entry/vsys/entry[@name='vsys1']/profiles/custom-url-category/entry[@name='Blocklist - Mine']/list/member[text()='pufikshop.ru/css/index.php']
