FastNetMon Advanced example API client which blocks and unblocks IP

This example script can create blackhole announce, list blocked hosts and remove it using UUID lookup.

To use this example, please enable API using this guide and install dependencies for it:

sudo apt-get install -y python3-requests

And download fastnetmon_api_client.py from GitHub:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FastNetMon/fastnetmon-example-api-client-python-blackhole/main/fastnetmon_api_client.py

Enable execution flag:

chmod +x fastnetmon_api_client.py

And run it this way:

./fastnetmon_api_client.py

Valid output looks like:

Correctly blackholed IP
Wait 5 second to propagate changes
Correctly found UUID for this IP 2518758c-a751-4984-9aeb-c5a935422e91
