API Calls to F5 limited to 1024 KB download

Hi, I am interacting with the F5 API in order to download ASM policies for the purpose of automating the backups. The process works fine however policies larger than 1024 KB are cut off at this size...

Empirically, exported policy files are stored under /var/ts/var/rest. The file name contains additional information such as the user name or dates. For example, when a file is created by POSTING {"filename":"admPolicy.xml"}, the file name becomes "admin~asmPolicy.xml". The file name has different format when created via GUI. I learnt this from the 'find' Unix command on my 13.1. Please let me know if you can't find your file there.
