CustomFileType

Custom File Type resource for Zscaler Internet Access.

Resource operations

This resource supports the following standard methods: create(), load(), update(), delete(). They operate on the instance state — set properties with dot notation, then call the method with no arguments. Any other action listed below is a custom action that takes explicit keyword arguments and returns a value.

Quick Start

import zssdk
import logging

# Enable debug logging for CustomFileType
logging.getLogger('zssdk.zia').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

session = zssdk.Session(
    vanity_domain="your-vanity-domain",
    client_id="your-client-id",
    client_secret="your-client-secret",
)

# Get a specific CustomFileType
resource = session.zia.CustomFileType(id="your-resource-id")
resource.load()
print(resource)

# Debug output shows HTTP request/response details
