The API

This describes the use of the REST API to read and change settings of devices.

Warning

The admin API can be used to read and create several types of objects with passwords, that due to the nature of their use, will be sent in plain text !

We urge you to make sure your site uses SSL encryption, per your organizations’ policy.

Note

The REST API is truly RESTful! So NO data is being cached between calls, and each call will need to relearn the device. This can be slow!
