Introduction
------------
The OPNsense API calls are structured in the form:
.. code-block:: sh
https://opnsense.local/api/<module>/<controller>/<command>/[<param1>/[<param2>/...]]
There are two HTTP verbs used in the OPNsense API:
- ``GET`` Retrieves data from OPNsense
- ``POST`` Creates new data, updates existing data or executes an action
The body of the HTTP POST request and response is an 'application/json' object.
The $key and $secret parameters are used to pass the API credentials using curl. You need to set these parameters with your own API credentials before using them in the examples:
.. code-block:: sh
key=w86XNZob/8Oq8aC5r0kbNarNtdpoQU781fyoeaOBQsBwkXUt
secret=XeD26XVrJ5ilAc/EmglCRC+0j2e57tRsjHwFepOseySWLM53pJASeTA3
.. note::
When using Postman to test an API call, use the 'basic auth' authorization type. The $key and $secret parameters go into Username/Password respectively.
