Find essential Cisco EPNM API Resources

Cisco EPN Manager implements the RESTCONF API as a standards-based Northbound Interface for integrating Cisco EPN Manager with a standards-compliant OSS. It is a set of RESTFul services confirmed to the RESTCONF/YANG specification. The Cisco EPN Manager implementation of the RESTCONF/YANG interface supports the retrieval of device inventory, circuit inventory, circuit provisioning and notifications about respective resource changes and provisioning.
Evolved Programmable Network Manager Sandbox
- Model Driven: The RESTCONF protocol operates on a conceptual datastore defined with the YANG data modeling language.
- Easy Programmability: Request and response data can be in XML or JSON format. XML has structure according to yang by XML-YANG and JSON by JSON-YANG.
- Enhanced Scalability: Representational State Transfer, i.e. server maintains no session state.
- Developer Tools: The nbi-help portal allows quick test of RESTConf functions without the need of an external application.
