DSaaS Adding Global Rule with Python

Question

Trying to use the automation API example to add a global rule to DSaaS. I have no idea how to populate the hash,description pairs in the globalrules = deepsecurity.ApplicationControlGlobalRules().

Tried using JSON but don't know how to do that.

from __future__ import print_function
import sys, warnings
import deepsecurity
from deepsecurity.rest import ApiException
from pprint import pprint

# Setup
if not sys.warnoptions:
    warnings.simplefilter("ignore")
configuration = deepsecurity.Configuration()
configuration.host = 'YOUR_HOST'

# Authentication
configuration.api_key['api-secret-key'] = 'YOUR_API_KEY'

# Initialization
# Set Any Required Values
api_instance = deepsecurity.GlobalRulesApi(deepsecurity.ApiClient(configuration))
globalrules = deepsecurity.ApplicationControlGlobalRules()
api_version = 'YOUR VERSION'

try:
    api_response = api_instance.add_global_rules(globalrules, api_version)
    pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
    print("An exception occurred when calling GlobalRulesApi.add_global_rules: %s\n" % e)

I'd like to know how to populate the hash,description pair in the object that is passed to the add_global_rules method.

I'm assuming you would like to add some Global Application Control Rules to your DSaaS account using the Python SDK. In order to do this, first create the rules like so

rules = []
rules.append(deepsecurity.ApplicationControlGlobalRule(sha256="YOUR_SHA256_HERE", description="YOUR_DESCRIPTION_HERE"))
...

appending more rules as required. Then add them to the ApplicationControlGlobalRules object

globalrules = deepsecurity.ApplicationControlGlobalRules(application_control_global_rules = rules)

In general your code sample will be as follows

from __future__ import print_function
import sys, warnings
import deepsecurity
from deepsecurity.rest import ApiException
from pprint import pprint

# Setup
if not sys.warnoptions:
    warnings.simplefilter("ignore")
configuration = deepsecurity.Configuration()
configuration.host = 'YOUR_HOST'

# Authentication
configuration.api_key['api-secret-key'] = 'YOUR_API_KEY'

# Initialization
# Set Any Required Values
api_instance = deepsecurity.GlobalRulesApi(deepsecurity.ApiClient(configuration))
api_version = 'YOUR VERSION'

# Create empty list for Global Application Control Rules
rules = []
rules.append(deepsecurity.ApplicationControlGlobalRule(sha256="YOUR_SHA256_HERE", description="YOUR_DESCRIPTION_HERE"))
# ... Add more Global Application Control Rules as required here

# Create ApplicationControlGlobalRules object with the rules
globalrules = deepsecurity.ApplicationControlGlobalRules(application_control_global_rules = rules)

try:
    api_response = api_instance.add_global_rules(globalrules, api_version)
    pprint(api_response)
except ApiException as e:
    print("An exception occurred when calling GlobalRulesApi.add_global_rules: %s\n" % e)
