What are types of Check Point APIs available currently as part of R81.20 code?

The types of Check Point APIs available currently as part of R81.20 code are:

Management API: This API allows you to automate and orchestrate various management tasks, such as creating and modifying objects, installing policies, generating reports, etc. The Management API can be accessed via CLI, Web Services, or GUI clients.

Threat Prevention API: This API allows you to interact with the Threat Prevention software blades, such as Anti-Virus, Anti-Bot, Threat Emulation, etc. The Threat Prevention API can be used to query and update indicators, upload files for emulation, retrieve verdicts and reports, etc.

Identity Awareness Web Services API: This API allows you to integrate external identity sources with the Identity Awareness software blade, which provides identity-based access control for network traffic. The Identity Awareness Web Services API can be used to send identity and session information to the Security Gateway, query identity information from the Security Gateway, etc.

OPSEC SDK API: This API allows you to develop custom applications that can communicate with Check Point products using the OPSEC protocol. The OPSEC SDK API supports various OPSEC services, such as LEA, CPMI, SAM, ELA, UFP, etc.
