Configuration Setup APIs

Welcome to the Configuration Setup APIs for Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW). You use these APIs to create and manage devices, folders, labels, snippets, and variables.

A device is a cloud-managed firewall.

Folders are used to logically group your firewalls or deployment types (Prisma Access mobile users, remote networks, or service connections) for simplified configuration management.

You use snippets to group configurations that you can quickly push to your firewalls or deployments. A snippet is a configuration object, which can't fit into a hierarchy, or grouping of configuration objects, that you can associate with a folder, deployment, or device. When you create a snippet, you can assign it a label.

Variables allow you to standardize (using snippets) your configurations while giving you the flexibility to accommodate unique configuration values that are device or deployment specific.

These APIs use the common authentication mechanism for service access and authorization.

You must use the Configuration Operations API to push configurations made using these APIs to your deployments.
