Is it possible to write a script in Netbox to log into my Fortinet firewall, export data and auto populate it into Netbox? If so, are there any out there that I could take a look at? |

Anything is possible, but what you've suggested goes against the philosophy of Netbox: see https://docs.netbox.dev/en/stable/introduction/#serve-as-a-source-of-truth Netbox is not a monitoring system, neither is it intended to be a portal onto data collected by other systems; it's supposed to be a source of truth used to drive other systems. |
