Creation of App-Id though XML Api

[Rmuppalla]

Hi Guys I am trying to create a App Id though xml api. I looked at the request though Debug Console:

<request cmd="set" obj="/config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/vsys/entry[@name='vsys1']/application/entry[@name='test2']" cookie="3920960267560155" newonly="yes">
<default>
<ident-by-ip-protocol>12</ident-by-ip-protocol>
</default>
<subcategory>infrastructure</subcategory>
<category>networking</category>
<technology>client-server</technology>
<description>testing puirposes</description>
<risk>5</risk>
</request>

https://firewall/api/?type=set&cmd=<default>
<ident-by-ip-protocol>12</ident-by-ip-protocol>
</default>
<subcategory>infrastructure</subcategory>
<category>networking</category>
<technology>client-server</technology>
<description>testing puirposes</description>
<risk>5</risk>&key=apikey

Where does the object comes into play ? Where should we include that ?

Using the /debug to see what the GUI does gets you part of the way, but it's not a direct 1-to-1 what you need to send / do.

type=config

action=set

xpath=/config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/vsys/entry[@name='vsys1']/application/entry[@name='test2']

element=<entry name="test2">(WHAT YOU HAVE AS cmd HERE)</entry>

I would highly recommend using either of the libraries that Palo Alto Networks has for working with the API if you want to get serious with the PAN-OS API:

python:  pandevice

golang: pango
