Objective

Revert to the previously installed Application and Threats content update using an API call to the Firewall.

As a pre-requisite to using API, API access has to be enabled on the Firewall.
An API key also needs to be generated which can be used to make API calls to the Firewall.
Refer to the API documentation for enabling API access and generating an API key.
Once you have obtained the API key for making API calls to the Firewall, the following API call can be used to revert to the previously installed content update.
```
https://<firewall_IP>/api/?type=op&cmd=<request><content><downgrade><install>previous</install></downgrade></content></request>&key=<apikey>
```

- Replace the with the IP address of the Firewall.
- Replace with the API key generated for making the API calls.
