PAN OS REST API

Amin2 — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 16:19:23 GMT

I am just starting out and learning automation. I am using PAN OS 10.2 on PA 820 lab device. When I try to use a use the GET Method to query addresses, the restapi-doc shows: https://10.x.x.x/restapi/v10.2/Objects/Addresses .

I don’t see the “"Invalid Query Parameter: key". Could it be that my API key is bad or invalid? Below is my curl command I was using

curl -k -X GET "https://10.x.x.x.x/restapi/v10.2/Objects/Addresseslocation=vsys&vsys=vsys1&key=LUF7************==" | jq

I have attached the output response.

Thanks

@Amin2,

You won't use &key= with the REST API like you can with the XML API. With REST you're forced to actually use the X-PAN-KEY:<key> header for authentication.

Thank you Bpry, your recommendation the curl command worked, I had to adjust the space in front of X-PAN-KEY parameter. I am taking Udemy course and the instructor is using 9.0 code for the class.

Someone sent me this usage guide on PanOS and Panorama for working with objects: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-1/pan-os-panorama-api/get-started-with-the-pan-os-rest-api/work-with-address-objects-rest-api
