WatchGuard provides public RESTful APIs you can use for integration with WatchGuard products and services. To use a WatchGuard API, you must enable RESTful API access in WatchGuard Cloud.

When you enable API access, you establish credentials for read/write and read-only API requests and generate an API key, which identifies your account in requests that you make to WatchGuard APIs.

Map Your Accounts

You must map your Panda account to your WatchGuard account to use WatchGuard APIs. You can use the account mapper to link your Panda account to your WatchGuard account. For more information, go to Link Your WatchGuard and Panda Accounts.

If you do not have a WatchGuard account or a Panda account, the account mapper can create an account for you.

APIs and API Access

WatchGuard APIs use token-based authentication. In each request to a WatchGuard API, you specify an API key, which identifies your account, and an access token, which authorizes API access for a period of time. For more information, go to Get Started with WatchGuard APIs.

The Endpoint Security Management API is a RESTful API that you can use to remotely monitor and manage devices that run WatchGuard Endpoint Security products. For more information, go to Endpoint Security Management API.

The Aether Endpoint Security Management API is a RESTful API that you can use to remotely monitor and manage devices that run Panda Aether platform endpoint security products. For more information, go to Aether Endpoint Security Management API.
