add host and set network are examples of object manipulation commands in the Management API. These are used to create or update objects like hosts, networks, services, and rules.

The JSON output from a successful add host command includes the object UID, name, IP address, and other properties. This data can be captured and reused for subsequent commands.

Even deletion operations in the Check Point Management API are performed using POST, such as calling /delete-host with the required parameters in a JSON body.

The basic workflow includes logging in, performing API operations, publishing the changes, and finally logging out. This ensures session lifecycle management and secure API usage.

A bash script using curl can send backup requests to Gaia API, while cron is the standard Linux job scheduler for recurring execution. This combination automates backups efficiently.
