Thanks so much for this video. It helped me learn to use Postman and Palo restapi. Couple of issue I experienced during my workout. the .restapi-doc url seems to deliver the page but then go unresponsive. This was the case with most of the browsers. I couldn't use the documentation. But I used the command from your example and it worked! Thanks and grateful..

Great to hear it helped.
Bear in mind to be able to use documentation the firewall should be online, if you turn it off won't work

Great tutorial, thank you! Are you familiar with same process for getting api key for SCM?

[@techfrapi]

i havent done it, but once you found the api, which should be on the documentation than you can test it with postman

Easies way to test is to use the browser
{ip address}/api/?type=keygen&user={your username}&password={ your password}
Just replace with your username password and ip
