API-BASED TOOL for Bulk Object Creation in FDM

[anvpatha]

Problem 

How many times have you found yourself clicking through the FDM GUI, manually creating dozens (or hundreds) of URL and Network objects? This tedious process has probably cost you hours of valuable time and introduced the occasional typo or naming inconsistency.

Solution 

============================================================
║                  FDM Object Adder                        ║
║  • Creates URL objects from url.txt                      ║
║  • Creates Network objects from ip.txt                   ║
============================================================

I've developed Python automation tool that leverages the Cisco FDM REST API to completely automate bulk object creation.

1. Prepare Input Files (Simple Text Format):

- `url.txt` - One URL per line for URL object creation.

- `ip.txt` - One IP address per line for Network object creation.

 2. Run python3 fdm_object_adder.py

The tool handles all REST API authentication, object creation, and error handling automatically.
