Cisco FirePower Management Center - API example

[Jonathan18964]

I am trying to send a POST request to the Firepower REST API. See the following information:

POST accesspolicies

Request Type: POST

Description: Creates an access control policy with the specified parameters.

URL: /api/fmc_config/v1/domain/{domain_UUID}/policy/accesspolicies

Permissions: Policies>Access Control Policy>Modify Access Control Policy

I can export Perl/Python scripts as example, but there are no Json examples. 

Could someone give a few examples of what the Json structure must look like, for a POST request? I have tried similar to this:

{
    "items": {
    "Name": "My New Policy",
    "id": "123456",
    "type": "AccessPolicy"
},
    "links":

    {
    "self": "https://127.0.0.1//api/fmc_config/v1/domain/{domain_UUID}/policy/accesspolicies"
    }
}

Thanks

Have you looked at the FMC API explorer? )https://ip-address/api/api-explorer) It should be able to pull JSON samples from there. For instance, the POST JSON example is:
