Why each option
The Check Point R80 Management API can be accessed via Web Services (REST), the mgmt_cli command-line tool, and the SmartConsole built-in API console, but not through CLISH. CLISH is a separate expert-mode shell for system administration.
Web Services (REST over HTTPS) is a fully supported and primary method for invoking the Management API programmatically from any HTTP-capable client.
mgmt_cli is an official command-line utility shipped with Check Point management that wraps Management API calls and supports scripting and automation.
CLISH (Gaia CLISH) is the Check Point Gaia operating system's command-line interface used for network and OS-level configuration such as routing and interface settings. It is entirely separate from the Management API framework and cannot be used to invoke API calls for creating managed objects like hosts.
SmartConsole includes a built-in API console (accessible via the menu) that allows administrators to run Management API commands interactively using the GUI.
