CirrusPython script to get the SSL profile of a VIP
Hello guys I am creating an SSL automation and I am trying to get the ssl profile from inputted VIP.. I am using F5 rest api and I am not seeing much differences on the contents when I use this url
url = f"https://{f5_hostname}/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/~Common~{vip_name}"
and filter using profilesReference it gave me all profiles sample below. From below contents, I dont know how to filter further to get the sslprofile as you see almost all of them has the same content, I cannot differentiate the ssl profile from others. any other way how to get the sslprofile from a VIP using python script?

as the response is in json format, then you can use example below to fetch specific object.
ensure that there is "[" prefix and "]" suffix so that it is processed as array of json object.https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_json.asp

cathy_123Hi alexjames I am using REST API to get the virtual IP details https://{f5_hostname}/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/~Common~{vip_name} then further filter it using profilesReference. the result was above.. the problem is the content all looks the same..

cathy_123 - sorry but the previous member was a GPT spammer. Hence the "technically close" but "contextually dumb" reply.
The reply has been removed.Have you found a way around this yet?
If not, I'll elevate this to get more eyeballs on it. Sorry for missing that prev poster.
