icontrol - different exported policy via icontrol and GUI

Hi,

I trying to export security policy with icontrol but when I compare output with same policy exported via GUI it's different.

 

/mgmt/tm/asm/tasks/export-policy/", '{"filename": "test_api_new.xml", "minimal":"true", "format":"xml", "policyReference":{"link": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policies/' + str(policyId) + '"}}

 

icontrol exported policy 19684 lines
GUI export has 52857 lines.

 

For example GUI export contains info about open_api_files but icontrol export not.

 

<open_api_files>
    <open_api_file>
      <filename>rest-api-security~swagger.json</filename>
      <upload_datetime>2022-07-01T14:01:31Z</upload_datetime>
    </open_api_file>
  </open_api_files>

 

Should be policy be same? Does not matter from where I export it?

In addition is there detail documentation for icontrol? Currently I use https://cdn.f5.com/websites/devcentral.f5.com/downloads/icontrol-rest-api-user-guide-15-1-0.pdf

I found some options from responses from the requests but maybe I missed some important options?

Thank you.
