Traffic (in & out) by API

Hi Florian, Thanks for reaching out to Sophos Community.

This API request fetches the Firewall rule configurations. I have checked internally and found that Unfortunately, You won't be able to get traffic (In & Out) details through the API. 

Oh, that's a pitty. Any other way to get the traffic without using a netflow tool?

Thanks for checking!

XML API is a configuration based API. There is some data, which came from a database (like traffic in&out). 

To get this data, you need a webadmin query, therefore there is no API. 

But as far as i know, Central Reporting can get this data, but again in a web based manner. 

Thanks for the insights. Webadmin query means I have to handle the session token myself and kind of fake a login on the webserver of the firewall, right? Or is there any official doc of how to perform webadmin queries?

You cannot do this, as this is one of the Harding processes of the OS itself. What i mean is, the webadmin itself has to perform this task and it cannot be done by outside tasks.
