Services
This Public Stable API gets, creates, updates, or deletes services. To write services they must be in the “draft” state, which means they have not been provisioned. To provision changes made to services, use the Security Policy API.

Get Services
This API gets all the services in your organization that are in the “draft” policy state (not yet provisioned).
By default, the maximum number returned on a GET collection of services is 500. To get more than 500 services, use an Asynchronous GET Collection.
URI to Get a Collection of Services
GET [api_version][org_href]/sec_policy/draft/services
URI to Get an Individual Service
GET [api_version][service_href]
Curl Command to Get All Services
curl -i -X GET https://pce.my-company.com:8443/api/v2/orgs/2/sec_policy/draft/services -H "Accept: application/json" -u $KEY:$TOKEN
Curl Example to Get a Service
curl -i -X GET https://pce.my-company.com:8443/api/v2/orgs/2/sec_policy/draft/services/91 -H "Accept: application/json" -u $KEY:$TOKEN
Response
Each individual service returned is identified by a service HREF. To GET, PUT, or DELETE an individual service, identify the service using its HREF in the API call.

Create a Service
This method creates an individual service. Once a service is created, it can be used to write rules for a security policy.
URI to Create a Service
POST [api_version][org_href]/sec_policy/draft/services
Example Payload
{ "name": "RDP", "description": "Windows Remote Desktop", "service_ports": [ { "port": 3389, "proto": 6 } ] }
Curl Command to Create Windows Service
This example shows how to create a Windows Remote Desktop (RDP) service.
curl -i -X POST https://pce.my-company.com:8443/api/v2/orgs/2/sec_policy/active/services -H "Content-Type:application/json" -u $KEY:$TOKEN -d '{"name":"RDP", "description":"Windows Remote Desktop","service_ports":[{"port":3389,"proto":6}]}'
Update a Service
In order to update (PUT) an individual service, you need to know the HREF of the service you want to update. A service's HREF is returned when you get a collection of services from the PCE.
URI to Update an Individual Service
PUT [api_version][service_href]
Request Body
This example illustrates the request body you can pass to update a service, for example, to change the port used by the Nginx service from its current port number to 8080:
{ "name": "nginx", "service_ports": [ { "port": 8080, "proto": 6 } ] }
Curl Command to Update Service
curl -i -X PUT https://pce.my-company.com:8443/api/v2/orgs/2/sec_policy/active/services/79 -H "Content-Type:application/json" -u $KEY:$TOKEN -d '{"name":"nginx","service_ports":[{"port":8080,"proto":6}]}'
Delete a Service
To delete an individual service, use the HREF of the service you want to delete, which is returned when you get a collection of services.
URI to Delete an Individual Service
DELETE [api_version][service_href]
Curl Command to Delete Service
curl -i -X DELETE https://pce.my-company.com:8443/api/v2/orgs/2/sec_policy/active/services/79 -u $KEY:$TOKEN
