API call to clone multiple URL Filtering categories

[vp194m]

Hi,

I am trying to clone 2 URL Filtering Profiles "testProfile1" and "testProfile2" into "testProfile1-1" and "testProfile2-1" using the following REST API call.

https://HOST_IP_ADDRESS/api/?key=LUFRPT1mQUJoTjh4S05rbkpBcWtLb2pZRERJekJTcDA9U2F1cU8ybzFzajFiaG5DSXV...

&xpath=/config/devices/entry/vsys/entry[@name='vsys2']/profiles/url-filtering&from=/config/devices/entry/vsys/entry[@name='vsys2']/profiles/url-filtering/entry[@name='testProfile1'%20or%20@name='testProfile2']

&newname=[@name='testProfile1-1'%20or%20@name='testProfile2-1']&target=0008C100900

However,  it doesn't look like it's working. Can some one assist me with the correct syntax here?

Thanks,

Venkat

Hello Venkat,

The syntax to be used to clone an existing configuration object using xpath paramter would be:

http(s)://hostname/api/?type=config&action=clone&xpath=/config/devices/entry/vsys/entry[@name='vsys1']/rulebase/security/rules/&from=/config/devices/entry/vsys/entry[@name='vsys1']/rulebase/security/rules/entry[@name='rule1']&newname=rule2

Keeping syntax in consideration, in your case the REST API would be:

https://hostname/api/?type=config&action=clone&xpath=/config/devices/entry/vsys/entry[@name='vsys1']...'testProfile1']&newname=testProfile1-1

Let me know how that works out for you.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Kunal,

Thanks for your response. I was able to clone one profile at a time with the API call you provided. However, I am looking for a single API call to clone multiple profiles, as intended in my original question.

Do I have to send multiple clone API calls to clone multiple profiles? Or, Is there a way to send multiple profiles in the same call, just like the "Delete" functionality.

Thanks,

Venkat
