Firepower Management Center (FMC) - 1 of 4 - REST API

API Type / Purpose

Most commonly used REST API for FMC

REST API can be used to do most common tasks on your FMC, NGFW and NGIPS. This includes provisioning, configuration, deployment, monitoring and most other day-to-day activities

API documentation

API Explorer (RECOMMENDED) - https://<FMC-IP>/api/api-explorer/

FMC REST API offline documentation on CCO - https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/security/defense-center/products-programming-reference-guides-list.html

Features available in API wrt GUI / CLI

As of FMC version 6.2.3, you can do the following:

  • Config Deployment
  • Device Register / Unregister
  • Network/Service Objects/Groups Configuration
  • Configuration of Interfaces, Access Policies, NAT Policies, Static Routes
  • High Availability Configuration
  • CTID Configuration
  • Viewing File, IPS Policies and other Objects/Groups

 

Note: Check the API Config guide / API explorer for the complete list. Things listed here are summarized due to space constraints.

Comments / Notes

Read more here - https://blogs.cisco.com/security/how-to-get-started-on-programming-firepower-using-fmc-apis

 

API Explorer is truly amazing with features like inline documentation, it lets you play with live data in your FMC and it lets you export the API into Perl / Python code ready for use into your scripts

 

Limited to 120 queries per minute. This may be a limiting factor for large deployments.

Sample Codes

 

In case if someone wants to use an SDK instead of direct native REST API calls, here are some SDKs that I have observed.

Anand and team,

Are these items externally accessible or just internal?  Also at least when I view this page there seems to be a formatting issue with the table.

Hi All

 

My customer is in India and so our Cisco Security Account is hosted in the APJC cloud.

I am trying to integrate my On-prem ThreatGrid Appliance with Arcsight SIEM via API and was trying to refer to the Threatgrid API documentation mentioned in this post.

 

However, this seems to take me to US cloud portal, where we do not have any account.

 

Is there any documentation available in APJC cloud?

@jefbfi there is currently no cloud in which on prem customers get accounts. The API documentation is also available in the appliance; open the in-product help and you will see it - or consult the iser guide; information exists there as well.
