How do you use the API Explorer in XG Firewall?

I have been successful in making requests using the API to retrieve host ip configurations by making a GET request to the firewall IP address. When I try to use the same XML request in the API explorer I get the error "Only LiveUserLogin and LiveUserLogout XML Tags are allowed". Can anyone provide a sample string that would accomplish what I was able to do with earlier GET request I had success with?

Holden,

I always use the browser to deal with XML requests but to be honest never used the XML Request on XG API TAB.

Maybe there is a limitation of what you can do from XG Admin Interface.

For example:

https://192.168.0.1:4444/webconsole/APIController?reqxml=<Request><Login><Username>admin</Username><Password>passwordhere</Password></Login><Get><IPHost></IPHost></Get></Request>

works with no issue using a Browser.

Anyway yours is a good question!

Hi, any idea how you can get a list of live users from the api ?

Like Current Activities / Live users in the admin.

I am not quite sure at the moment but i would say, there is no way to access this information.

Background is, the API is designed to configure something in XG and the live user database is a "living" module in XG, which has no direct API connection.

Thanks LuCar.

I was using the api to log out users on shared devices when they hit a url using LiveUserLogout. This used to work just on the device ip which I could get but an update broke this and turns out you also need to match the user now : ( I was hoping I might be able to get the username from the IP but no such luck : (
