How can I get the device serial number thru the rest API?

Not applicable

Apparently the serial number of the device does not appear when retrieving device configuration thru rest api.

Is there a way to extract that data with the restful api?

Hi,

I don't that is possible, as the API is mainly for config manipulation and reporting purpose, and both our reports and config will not show the S/N. If you are looking for an easy way to map all the IP and device for asset management, you can use SNMP. The following MIBS will show you the S/N of a box, and you can find our MIBS in the support portal:

panSysSerialNumber OBJECT-TYPE
  SYNTAX      DisplayString (SIZE(0..128))
  MAX-ACCESS  read-only
  STATUS      current
  DESCRIPTION
   "The serial number of the unit. If not available,
   an empty string is returned."
  ::= { panSys 3 }

The 4.1 XML API now has type=op; for example with PAN-perl you can use panxapi -o to do:

$ (panxapi -t pa-200 -Xpro 'show system info';
>  echo 'print $VAR1->{system}->{serial},"\n"') | perl
op: success
001606000471

or:

$ panxapi -t pa-200 -Xxro 'show system info'|
> perl -ne 'print $1,"\n" if m@<serial>(.+)</serial>@'
op: success
001606000471

Thanks, think this will help me.

Can you send a reference to the new abilities added to the API in this version?
