Firewall Threat Defense API Explorer

[fikratmmdv]

Hi, everyone!
When i worked with FMC sandbox, it gave me API Explorer link to test FMC API. But, i can not find API Explorer link for FTD API. I connect VPN with given credentials. But, after connecting, i don't know what should i do?

Hi,

For Cisco FTD API, you can refer to https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/ftd-api/guide/ftd-rest-api/ftd-api-methods.html

or refer to https://www.postman.com/ciscodevnet/workspace/cisco-devnet-s-public-workspace/documentation/8697084-bf06287b-a7f3-4572-a4d5-84f1c652109a?entity=&branch=&version= when you are using postman.

You can use postman and do some operations via FTD API such as 'get access rules, IPS rules, delete access rules or host objects etc.'

Generally speaking, the API Explorer can be found at https://<ipofFTD>/#/api-explorer (example: https://192.168.1.10/#/api-explorer )
The API Explorer can also be easily accessed via the FTD/FDM user interface.
Pressing the 3 dots next to help/task list/deploy has a direct link to the API explorer
(see screenshot)

When I was playing around with the FTD sandbox, the API Explorer was at https://10.10.20.65/#/api-explorer x
And there are some learning labs on developer.cisco.com, for example the "Interacting with the FTD API" that might help you get started.
