API Reference

Use this reference documentation to explore the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager API operations.

Each request includes a complete description of all required parameters and example requests to help you quickly build integrations.

How to get the access token?

To begin using the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager API, you must first authenticate and obtain a session token. Authentication is performed using your Cisco SD-WAN Manager credentials. The session token must then be included in the header of each API request as follows:

• Authenticate by sending a POST request to /j_security_check with your username and password.
• Use the session cookie returned by Cisco SD-WAN Manager (JSESSIONID) as your authentication token for subsequent API requests.

For more information on access token, see Authentication.

Note: Always ensure that your API requests are sent over HTTPS and that your credentials are kept secure.
