In our organization we are using 5.2(8e) version APIC,s with multi pod environment. I need steps and prerequisites for any API tool wants management console and integration with our production ACI. What  prerequisites and configuration can be done from cisco ACI end. please guide me someone

Example scenario : Let assume now a days developers are using some tools from which they are directly creating EPG's , BD and policies by themselves without any help from ACI network engineer for this type of setup I need best example and configuration guide which all needs to do from ACI end 

Thanks in advance!

@MoulaAli480 the tools you choice might be based on your users/company skills, however most choose an API tool such as Postman,or Python scripts, Ansible, even custom applications they  all supports REST API interactions with Cisco ACI. You can even look at the SDK https://developer.cisco.com/docs/aci/cobra-sdk-downloads/

I would suggest creating dedicated user roles with limited privileges for developers to ensure they can only perform specific tasks.  There is a full guide for this here https://developer.cisco.com/docs/aci/introduction/
