XML/Rest API - Application filter and how to check if an application needs dependency apps

[mhagmann]

I would like to get the following information with the XML API and the Rest API:

1. read all application filters with their matching apps

2. get the the dependency apps from the matching apps (matching the application filters)

At first how can I get the application filters with their matching apps with the XML API and the Rest API?

Second, based on the KB article https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000ClirCAC I can get the application dependencies with the "show predefined application <name-of-app>" command. The output provides me the values of "use-applications" and "implicit-use-applications" and shows the dependencies. How can I get these two dependencies from the apps with he XML API and the Rest API?

Many thansk for your advice and help.
