remove border devices to the fabric and get details about their status.
For non-fabric wireless devices, you can create, update, and delete
wireless SSIDs, profiles, and provisioning activities.
Operational Tools category: This category includes APIs for the
most commonly used tools in the Cisco DNA Center toolbelt:
The Command Runner API enables the retrieval of all valid
keywords that Command Runner accepts and allows you to run
read-only commands on devices to get their real-time
configuration.
The Network Discovery API provides access to the discovery
functionalities of Cisco DNA Center. You can use this API to create,
update, delete, and manage network discoveries and the
credentials needed for them. You can also retrieve network
discoveries, network devices that were discovered as part of a
specific network discovery task, and credentials associated with
these discoveries.
The Template Programmer API can be used to manage
configuration templates. You can create, view, edit, delete, version,
add commands, check contents for errors, deploy, and check the
status of template deployments.
The Path Trace API provides access to the Path Trace application
in Cisco DNA Center. Path Trace can be used to troubleshoot and
trace application paths throughout the network and provide
statistics at each hop. The API gives you access to initiating,
retrieving, and deleting path traces.
The File API enables you to retrieve files such as digital certificates,
maps, and SWIM files from Cisco DNA Center.
The Task API provides information about the network actions that
are being run asynchronously. Each of these background actions
can take from seconds to minutes to complete, and each has a task
associated with it. You can query the Task API about the
completion status of these tasks, get the task tree, retrieve tasks by
their IDs, and so on.
The Tag API gives you the option of creating, updating, and
deleting tags as well as assigning tags to specific devices. Tags are
very useful in Cisco DNA Center; they are used extensively to group
devices by different criteria. You can then apply policies and
provision and filter these groups of devices based on their tags.The Cisco DNA Center platform APIs are rate limited to
five API requests per minute.
So far in this section, we’ve covered all the APIs and the
multivendor SDK offered by Cisco DNA Center. Next, we
will start exploring the Intent API, using Cisco DNA
Center version 1.3 for the rest of the chapter. As API
