WSA AsyncOS API

[michaelgebreegziabher21778]

Previously, I was utilizing the Cisco WSA GUI to manage a custom URL category for blocking or allowing specific URLs. Now, I'm interested in automating these tasks by communicating with the API from my system. During my research, I came across the "Get URL categories" API request. Could you please inform me if there is an API request available to modify the custom URL categories?

Based on Cisco's documentation for the WSA API, there currently isn't a direct API request available to modify existing custom URL categories. The "Get URL categories" API you found seems to be the intended method for retrieving information on these categories. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/wsa/wsa-14-5/api-guide/b_WSA_API_14-5_Guide/test_chapter_011.html#Cisco_Generic_Topic.dita_118ebba7-ce13-4e9b-ba0b-c723ff47470b

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. Is there an alternative solution available? Should I consider modifying the method used to block the URLs?
