Re: REST API supportability for Cisco Switches & Routers

Hi All,

Wondering apart from Cisco 1000v & Cat9k, which other switches and routers supported Rest API?

Thank you,

Hi,

I would say most, if not all, of the newer software/platforms support REST APIs:

Firepower/FMC API - https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/security/defense-center/products-programming-reference-guides-list.html
Meraki Dashboard APIs - https://dashboard.meraki.com/api_docs
NX-OS APIs - https://developer.cisco.com/site/cisco-nexus-nx-api-references/
ACI APIs - https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/aci/apic/sw/2-x/rest_cfg/2_1_x/b_Cisco_APIC_REST_API_Configuration_Guide/b_Cisco_APIC_REST_API_Configuration_Guide_chapter_01.html
UCS / UCS Director APIs - https://developer.cisco.com/site/ucs-dev-center/
Webex APIs - https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/getting-started

And so many more. If you plan to explore them, you can find a lot of labs, learning modules and sandboxs on DevNet:

Have fun!
