Richard,

Many of your questions are answered in the document ISE ERS API Examples.

We have an example of creating a user under Create an Internal User with cURL and JSON.

This shows you what the JSON data looks like that you need to send to ISE.

I used my Postman collection for the ISE ERS APIs to generate the Python code below. Please watch our ISE REST API webinar for how I generated this code as a starting point for your project. I highly recommend you watch the entire webinar.

Once you get the basic submission working, I recommend using the Python library argparse for command line arguments in your program.

import requests
import json

url = "https://ise.securitydemo.net:9060/ers/config/internaluser"

payload = json.dumps({
"InternalUser": {
"name": "{{username}}",
"password": "{{password}}",
"description": "{{description}}"
 }
})

# You will need to update this with your username+password credentials
headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Basic e3tyZXN0X3VzZXJuYW1lfX06e3tyZXN0X3Bhc3N3b3JkfX0='
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(response.text)
