API
FortiExtender Cloud has public APIs that allow you to access event logs, device information, and apply configurations to your devices. To access the APIs, you must present either a FortiExtender Cloud token or a FAC OAuth token.
API Schema and documentation
To see the FortiExtender Cloud API schema, you will need a Fortinet Developer Network account.
Once you have an account, you can access the FortiExtender Cloud API documentation.
API Tokens
FortiExtender Cloud tokens can be generated by users who can access the FortiExtender Cloud portal. The permission roles (Admin, ReadWrite, ReadOnly) granted by a FortiExtender Cloud token matches the role of the user who generated it.
FAC OAuth tokens can be generated when you create an API User in the Identity and Access Management (IAM) portal. You can modify the permissions from the IAM portal. Users who use OAuth tokens can only access services by calling APIs, they cannot log into FortiExtender Cloud.
