Upload SSL certificate/key via REST API
Here's an example to upload files via iControl REST with python.

Hi Jason, can we upload a file to a specific folder? instead of the default location?

Hi Jason,
Do you still have this python script?

you'll want something a little more foolhardy. That logic has been rolled into either the f5-common-python library (no longer maintained) or the newer bigrest library, which is actively being developed (but not by F5). Even so, I recommend the latter.
To do it with bigrest (untested but should be close):
from bigrest.bigip import BIGIP from pathlib import Path import sys def instantiate_bigip(host, user, password): try: obj = BIGIP(host, user, password) except Exception as e: print(f"Failed to connect to {host} due to {type(e).__name__}:\n") print(f"{e}") sys.exit() return obj def upload_file(obj, filename): if Path(filename).suffix == ".iso": endpoint = "/mgmt/cm/autodeploy/software-image-uploads" else: endpoint = "/mgmt/shared/file-transfer-uploads" try: obj.upload(endpoint, filename) except Exception as e: print(f"Failed to upload {Path(filename).name} due to {type(e).__name__}:\n") print(f"{e}") sys.exit() if __name__ == "__main__": host = '1.1.1.1' user = 'admin' password = 'admin' f = '/path/to/your/file/file.xyz' b = instantiate_bigip(host, user, password) upload_file(f)
You can add argparse to take arguments instead of hardcoding the file and bigip details, or set them as environment variables and include them that way. Obviously not secure to keep credentials this way.

Hi,
Can we achieve the same using Node.js? If yes, can you help me with the steps as I could not find any relevant docs on how to upload file using the REST apis in node.js.
