Async Usage#

Guide to asynchronous programming with HFortix using async/await.

Note

This content will be migrated from docs/fortios/ASYNC_GUIDE.md

Overview#

All HFortix API methods support asynchronous execution by appending _async to the method name.

Quick Example#

import asyncio
from hfortix import FortiOS

async def main():
    fgt = FortiOS(host='192.168.1.99', token='token')
    
    # Async API calls
    addresses = await fgt.api.cmdb.firewall.address.list_async()
    
    result = await fgt.api.cmdb.firewall.address.create_async(
        name='server-1',
        subnet='10.0.0.1/32'
    )
    
    # Concurrent operations
    results = await asyncio.gather(
        fgt.api.cmdb.firewall.address.list_async(),
        fgt.api.cmdb.firewall.policy.list_async(),
        fgt.api.monitor.system.status.get_async()
    )

asyncio.run(main())
