Introduction

The FortiManager JSON API allows you to perform configuration and monitoring operations on a FortiManager appliance or VM. The JSON API is based on JSON-RPC, a remote procedure call protocol encoded in JSON. It provides access to a wide range of features, including device management, policy configuration, object manipulation, and task execution.

By using structured JSON requests over HTTPS, you can efficiently interact with FortiManager to streamline operations, and scale network management tasks across multiple Fortinet devices.
