The ASA REST API gives you programmatic access to managing individual ASAs through a Representational State Transfer (REST) API. The API allows external clients to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on ASA resources; it is based on the HTTPS protocol and REST methodology.
All API requests are sent over HTTPS to the ASA, and a response is returned.
Request Structure
Available request methods are:
GET - Retrieves data from the specified object.
PUT - Adds the supplied information to the specified object; returns a 404 Resource Not Found error if the object does not exist.
POST - Creates the object with the supplied information.
DELETE - Deletes the specified object
PATCH - Applies partial modifications to the specified object.
