API in python works but in browser fails

L4 Transporter

Trying the API in browser. Clicking either submit or the URL give me error "show rule hit count op-command failed'

Tried on 5250 multi-vsys and 220, both on 8.1.8-h5

https://PA/api/?REST_API_TOKEN=111111111&type=op&cmd=%3Cshow%3E%3Crule-hit-count%3E%3Cvsys%3E%3Cvsys-name%3E%3C%2Fvsys-name%3E%3C%2Fvsys%3E%3C%2Frule-hit-count%3E%3C%2Fshow%3E

 

 

 

 

I managed to run the code and used on my firewall and was successful. But direct browsing fails.

 

https://panos.pan.dev/docs/apis/panos_tutorials_rule_hit_count

 

This uses

 

 

<show><rule-hit-count><vsys><vsys-name><entry name='vsys1'><rule-base><entry name='security'><rules><all></all></rules></entry></rule-base></entry></vsys-name></vsys></rule-hit-count></show>"

The reason it's failing is because the GUI API browser is already at the following XML location (per your first screenshot):  show > rule-hit-count > vsys > vsys-name

 

The API browser kinda fails when you need to give multiple params at a specific depth...  I don't know if it'd work, but you could try going back to the vsys location, then pasting the entire vsys-name block from opening to close and see if that works..?

@gfreeman I browsed API till vsys-name and there is nothing below it. Also i tried going up it still failed.

Then i copied the text above and it showed results although not human readable
