API access
You can add, update, or delete firewall configurations using the Application Programming Interface (API).
The firewall's API allows you to manage your firewall configuration programmatically. Rather than manually add, update, or remove configurations using the web admin console, you can use the API to automate these tasks.
You can use it to apply the same configuration to multiple firewalls. The API client can be a browser, the firewall or the administrator endpoint's Linux command-line interface, or an API application, such as Postman.
