Article Summary

Skylight orchestrator has two programming interfaces:

  • REST API
  • XML/http(s) Export Interface

About the REST API

Skylight orchestrator has a RESTful (Representational State Transfer) API. Also known as a REST API. It allows other systems to access the web services of Skylight orchestrator programmatically.

Software developers can use the REST API to develop client applications that communicate directly with a running Skylight orchestrator system.
The REST API supports:

  • addition of devices
  • retrieval of inventory
  • management of configuration jobs
  • SAT testing
  • management of performance sessions

This section briefly describes the REST API and explains how to access online documentation for the REST API.

About the XML Export Interface

The XML Export Interface is used to retrieve performance session data from Skylight orchestrator in XML format via http(s).
For more information about the XML/http(s) interface, see the Skylight orchestrator XML Export Manual.
