info:
  title: OPNsense REST Core Firewall API
  description: 'REST API for OPNsense, an open source FreeBSD-based firewall and routing platform.

    The API follows a uniform URL pattern:

    `/api/<module>/<controller>/<command>/[<param1>/<param2>/...]`

    and uses HTTP Basic Authentication where the API key is supplied as the

    username and the API secret as the password.


    Only GET and POST verbs are used: GET retrieves data, POST creates,

    updates, or executes actions.
