VIDEO Overview of APIs and Riverbed Open APIs for SteelScript WATCH NOW The network will evolve into an automated system that requires APIs and SDKs to stitch together the constituent parts. - “Networking predictions for 2013”, Forrester, Andre Kindness, July 2012 What are REST APIs? Application programming interfaces (APIs) allow software developers to write applications that communicate with other systems and services. APIs may expose data or metrics from the system or service, as well as configuration options and system status. REST APIs allow access via HTTP and usually use JSON or XML for data. It is a popular style for defining APIs because of its ease of use for both clients and servers. The term REST (Representational State Transfer) describes a general architectural style and a RESTful API uses just the basic methods of HTTP for interacting with a service. Features and benefits Riverbed has a wide range of APIs for its application performance infrastructure solutions, including RESTful APIs.
