50 RESTful API Support Dell Networking N22xx and N32xx switches support RESTful API. The RESTful API allows you to configure various operational parameters and attributes, including selected protocols, on the target switch. The API is based on REST principles, and is used to write and test applications. A browser can be used to test URLs and any HTTP client in any programming language can be used to interact with the API. Although Internet-based browsers can issue requests, the intended use of the REST API is as a programming interface. Most modern programming languages provide support for constructing and parsing JSON, as well as issuing HTTP requests. Examples include Python's requests and json modules, and the Java classes in the org.apache.http and org.json.simple namespaces. The following REST API example demonstrates the use of the libcurl library using the cURL command-line tool found at http://curl.haxx.se/. curl -d "username=admin&password=password" http://10.52.131.182:8080/open/v1/login {"accessLevel": 15, "SID": "PrpmRdcxEsChHzGSyEgQjwjXilkfjlNBDEpWjstpmxYwyFoWLvNw tWuBKgGvsVyxcOtNIpdUMbq", "status": {"response_code": 200, "msg": "OK", "more_info": "", "error_code": "0" } } curl -b SID= "UpvgNUsflTDMQVnFdguJncWlKwminJyhZvPoRiVEDaStWgABmUlc XhPjgbrVKrdloubfCWJgXez" http://10.52.131.182:8080/open/v1/vlans?id=2 {"vlans": [ {"id": 2, "type": "static", "name": "VLAN0002", "interfaces": [ {"participation": "included", "tagging": "untagged", "interface": "Gi1/0/7" }, RESTful API Support 1697
