Configuring RESTful
About RESTful
The device provides the Representational State Transfer application programming interface (RESTful API). Based on this API, you can use programming languages such as Python, Ruby, or Java to write programs to perform the following tasks:
· Send RESTful requests to the device to pass authentication.
· Use RESTful API operations to configure and manage the device. RESTful API operations include Get, Put, Post, and Delete.
The device supports using HTTP or HTTPS to transfer RESTful packets.
