The API functions enable you to use HTTP or HTTPS to collect various types of information such as information about devices monitored by Ops Center Analyzer.
The API functions of Ops Center Analyzer conform to the REST (Representational State Transfer) architecture style.
Compliance with the REST architecture style has the following benefits:
Does not depend on the platform or language.
Adheres to the standard HTTP interface. (The GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE methods are available.)
Enables the use of security tools for HTTP.
Returns standard HTTP status codes, making error processing easy.
Uses a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) for each resource, making it easy to access resources. The relationships between resources are easy to understand.
