    Best Practices

    Best Practices

    Fortinet recommends the following best practices for using the FortiLAN Cloud REST APIs.

    • Use the following query parameters to break large data into chunks for a swift API response.

      • FortiSwitch - Use the page and size query parameters.

      • FortiAP - Use the limit and offset query parameters.

    • The following APIs require the use of query parameters for improved response time and to fetch data using certain filers.

      • /fap/stats/wireless/usage

      • /fap/stats/wireless/usage/top_clients

      • /fap/stats/wireless/usage/top_usernames

      • /fap/stats/wireless/usage/top_usergroups

      • /fap/stats/wireless/usage/top_auths

      • /fap/stats/wireless/usage/top_aps

      • /fap/stats/wireless/usage/top

    The following are some example to use query/filter parameters (past_hours, past_days, start_datetime, end_datetime).

    • /fap/stats/wireless/usage/?ap=FP221E5555000558

    • /fap/stats/wireless/usage/?ssid=test

    • /fap/stats/wireless/usage/?auth=wpa2-only-personal

    • /fap/stats/wireless/usage/?client=16:7f:3d:58:b0:43
