Credential errors API from remote Server

javier.allende — Mon, 12 Dec 2016 11:40:28 GMT

Good morning,

I'm starting to use the API for exporting different reports from a remote server.

1) I've generated the API Key

2) I've checked if it runs in my browers without credentials

https://<myserver>/api/?type=config&action=show&key=mykey=&xpath=/config/devices/entry/vsys/entry/rulebase/security ant the result is an XML with the Security Rulebase.

3) If I try with curl or wget the xml result is the following <response status = 'error' code = '403'><result><msg>Invalid credentials.</msg></result></response>

Where can i find/ solve this issue?

kindly regards

Try using the following example with curl,

https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/documentation/71/pan-os/xml-api/get-started-with-the-pan-os-xml-api/make-your-first-api-call#51855

Make sure it doesn't include spaces. If that still gives you an error I'd suggest trying generating a new API key with a different username.

regards,

Gerardo.
