REST APIs for NETGEAR

Hi Netgear support, I see in the latest firmware release notes that REST API's are now supported on the platform.

 

Enhancements:

  • Added REST APIs for NETGEAR partners to develop the applications.

 

Will the REST API's ever be published for users/consumers for network automation ? We've been using raw ssh commands via ansible for scripting/automation but working with API's is a lot less cludgy than just plain ssh.

 

Would be really awesome if something at this price point could be API programmable and managed fully via Ansible/Python.

      Hi there

       

      thank you, good spot!

       

      Yes absolutely, the Rest API is now available in M4300 and M4500 switches, the agent is built-in in the firmware already.

       

      We have all the documentation ready, but we have a special process to deliver it. Please reach out to ProAVDesign@netgear.com by email and we will deliver it to you.
