Quick Start
import zssdk
import logging
# Enable debug logging for FileTypeRule
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 FileTypeRule
resource = session.zia.FileTypeRule(id="your-resource-id")
resource.load()
print(resource)
# Debug output shows HTTP request/response details

Returns: FileTypeRule
Example:
resource = session.zia.FileTypeRule()
resource.access_control = "value"
resource.active_content = True
resource.browser_eun_template_id = 3600
resource.create()
print(f"Created with ID: {resource.id}")
delete()
Deletes a FileTypeRule by id. Only the id identifier is required; delete() takes no other arguments.
Example:
resource = session.zia.FileTypeRule(id="your-resource-id")
resource.delete()
load()
Fetches an existing FileTypeRule by id. Only the id identifier is required; load() takes no other arguments.
Returns: FileTypeRule
Example:
resource = session.zia.FileTypeRule(id="your-resource-id")
resource.load()
print(resource.name)
