Is there a way to access Dynamic Navigation settings with the Google Search Appliance API?

Question

I would like to use the GSA API to read and write the Dynamic Navigation settings. From the API documentation, it looks like this isn't possible. Screen scraping is another option, but most of the page content is built client-side with JavaScript, which makes normal command-line screen scraping very difficult.

Is there an undocumented feature of the API perhaps, or some other way to access settings that aren't covered in the API?

Answer 1

The unofficial gsa-admin-toolkit project has a gsa_admin.py script which can import and export configuration files, and, most importantly, re-sign them. Before, editing an exported config file wasn't an option because they contain a checksum or hash. They get corrupted when edited.

This tool allows editing of the config file, re-signing, and importing back to the GSA.
