Export Files (API)

You can export certain types of files from the firewall using the type=export parameter in the API request.
Use the category parameter to specify the type of file that you want to export.
  • Configuration—category=configuration
  • Certificates/Keys—category=certificate
  • Response pages—category= application-block-page | captive-portal-text | file-block-continue-page | file-block-page | global-protect-portal-custom-help-page | global-protect-portal-custom-login-page | global-protect-portal-custom-welcome-page | ssl-cert-status-page | ssl-optout-text | url-block-page | url-coach-text | virus-block-page>
  • Technical support data—category=tech-support
  • Device State—category=device-state
Use cURL tools to export the file from the firewall and save locally with a local file name:
curl -o <filename> "https://<firewall>/api/?<query-parameters>"
When using the API query from a web browser, you can specify to=filename as an optional parameter if you would like to provide a different name when saving the file locally.
