specifically for a the product name : Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA)

I do a lot of test but I don't find the good way to fill the awaited paramater.

Could you please enlight me ?

Many thanks in advance

I don't have a curl CLI to experiment on, but have you tried encoding the spaces in the URL?

curl -X GET -s -k -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <My_Token>" https://api.cisco.com/security/advisories/product/?product=Cisco%20Email%20Security%20Appliance%20(ESA)

...I don't believe you need to escape the brackets.

cheers,

Seb.

Hi there,

You are missing a forward slash.

The correct structure is:

https://api.cisco.com/security/advisories/product/?product=Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA)

cheers,

Seb.

Hello Seb,

I have tried your solution and it is quite good.

Unfortunately, I would like to have only the product

Cisco Email Security Appliance (ESA)

in that case, the api replies the following message : <html><body><b>Http/1.1 Bad Request</b></body> </html>

My exact syntax is :

curl -X GET -s -k -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <My_Token>" https://api.cisco.com/security/advisories/product/?product='Cisco Email Security Appliance \(ESA\)'

What should I write in order to have only the requested product name and not all the Cisco devices ?

(because it seems that there is a blank between Cisco and Email ... this is not well interpreted by the Api)

Many thanks in advance

Christian

In fact, the escape of the bracket is necessary

The final request is :

curl -X GET -s -k -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <Mys_Token>" https://api.cisco.com/security/advisories/product/?product=Cisco%20Email%20Security%20Appliance%20\(ESA\)

Thanks a lot for your support
