Palo Alto Firewall Generate Api Key
Overview
This document is for first-time API users to get started and try out the basics of the PAN-OS API. This document leverages the pan-python SDK to get you started with some basic examples of API usage.
Step 1: Get python
If I look at the authd.log file there is nothing logged when the migration tool supposedly requests to generate the API key. The password is factory default, so no special characters. The tool can ping the management interface of the firewall. I have a right credential to access the device. 0 Likes Reply. Palo Alto Networks highlights. Re: API Rest: Generate an API key linked to a specific user So you can assign a custom role to a user, and that will limit what they have access to. But if you're always getting the same API key back, then there is either a problem with your script (maybe using a static variable or something instead of what you specify) or a huge problem with your firewall / PAN-OS.
- Step 5: Generate an API key for a firewall. When connecting to the PAN-OS API, the connection must include an API key that the firewall uses to authenticate the connection as coming from a specific administrator. In this example, we will generate the API key for the default admin user. Run this command in a terminal to generate an API Key for the admin user.
- If you want the firewall to generate a unique API key, change the master key on your firewall in order to generate a unique API key. If you have not changed the firewall master key from the default, all firewalls with the same username/password will return the same API key.
- API keys that were generated before you expired all keys, or a key that was created using the previous credentials will no longer be valid. If you use Panorama to manage your firewalls, Panorama and all of the firewalls that it manages must have the same master key.
Windows: Download Python 2.7.x or 3.x.x for Windows here: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
When installing python on Windows, be sure to enable 'Add python.exe to Path'
Mac OSX: Python 2.7.x is already installed. Go to step 2.
Linux: Python is already installed (usually 2.7.x). Go to step 2.
Step 2: Get pan-python
Go to https://github.com/kevinsteves/pan-python/releases
Windows: Download the Source Code (.zip)
Mac OSX and Linux: Download pan-python-x.x.x.tar.gz
Uncompress the file.
Step 3: Open a terminal
Windows: Press WinKey+R. In the Run dialog, type 'cmd' and press enter
Mac OSX: Navigate to Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
Linux: Most distributions have a terminal program you can run.
Step 4: Navigate to pan-python in terminal
In the terminal, use the 'cd' command to navigate to the 'bin' directory in the new directory you uncompressed earlier.
For example: cd c:Users<username>Downloadspan-python-x.x.xbin
Step 5: Generate an API key for a firewall
When connecting to the PAN-OS API, the connection must include an API key that the firewall uses to authenticate the connection as coming from a specific administrator. In this example, we will generate the API key for the default admin user.
Run this command in a terminal to generate an API Key for the admin user. In this example, the firewall's management IP is 10.1.1.5 and the firewall credentials are username admin and password admin.
python panxapi.py -h 10.1.1.5 -l admin:admin -k
keygen: success
API key: 'LUFRPT14MW5xOEo1R09KVlBZNnpnemh0VHRBOWl6TGM9bXcwM3JHUGVhRlNiY0dCR0srNERUQT09'
Record the outputted API key. It will be used in all subsequent API calls.
Step 6: Make a few API calls
Palo Alto Rest Api
The API has many capabilities including the ability to pull statistical data, modify the configuration, and retrieve logs, reports, and pcaps. Here are a few example API calls you can test on any firewall. In each API call, you pass the script the API key, an action type, and a command or xpath that tells the firewall what to retrieve or do.
Example 1: Get interface statistics
python panxapi.py -h 10.1.1.5 -K 'LUFRPT14MW5xOEo1R09KVlBZNnpnemh0VHRBOWl6TGM9bXcwM3JHUGVhRlNiY0dCR0srNERUQT09' -x -o '<show><counter><interface>ethernet1/1</interface></counter></show>'
Example 2: Get the firewall's hostname
python panxapi.py -h 10.1.1.5 -K 'LUFRPT14MW5xOEo1R09KVlBZNnpnemh0VHRBOWl6TGM9bXcwM3JHUGVhRlNiY0dCR0srNERUQT09' -xr -s '/config/devices/entry/deviceconfig/system/hostname'
Example 3: Get all address objects
python panxapi.py -h 10.1.1.5 -K 'LUFRPT14MW5xOEo1R09KVlBZNnpnemh0VHRBOWl6TGM9bXcwM3JHUGVhRlNiY0dCR0srNERUQT09' -xr -s '/config/devices/entry/vsys/entry/address'
Example 4: Create a new address object called 'testobject' with the IP 5.5.5.5
python panxapi.py -h 10.1.1.5 -K 'LUFRPT14MW5xOEo1R09KVlBZNnpnemh0VHRBOWl6TGM9bXcwM3JHUGVhRlNiY0dCR0srNERUQT09' -xr -S '<ip-netmask>5.5.5.5</ip-netmask>' '/config/devices/entry/vsys/entry/address/entry[@name='testobject']'

Overview
Palo Alto Networks XML API uses standard HTTP requests to send and receive data, allowing access to several types of data on the device. The data can then easily be integrated with and used in other systems. Using XML API you can also export the device state, which is used to backup a Palo Alto Networks firewall.
Details
Proceed with the following steps:
- Get the API key, which is required for authenticating API calls. You can generate it per user by using:
For more information, please refer to the admin guide: Get Your API Key . - Export the device state from the firewall using:
You will then be prompted to save the file.
What are the privileges needed to export the device state?
- In 7.0 and earlier, a superuser as well as a custom-role based admin are able to export the device state.
- Starting with 7.1, only a superuser has the privilege of performing an export of the device state. A custom-role based admin is treated as a device-admin. If you try to export the device state without superuser privileges, you will get the following error message: 'You need superuser privileges to do that'.
