RESTful API for interacting with IBM DataPower XC10?

It looks like IBM has set up an XML Management Interface for interacting with DataPower appliances that uses SOAP but I'm wondering if there is a way to interact with DataPower XC10 appliances through REST. Like, is there a RESTful API available for interacting with DataPower XC10 appliances directly?

Solution

  • We can issue JSON commands via the "HTTP command interface" - http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSS8GR_2.5.0/com.ibm.websphere.datapower.xc.doc/appTaskToInfoCenter_v251.htm?lang=en

    For example, to view all users, I issued this curl command:

    curl -k -u xcadmin:xcadmin -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data-binary  {"task":{"stopOnTaskFailure":"true","command":"ViewAllUsers"}}' https://192.168.56.101/resources/appTaskInterface
