API Support

A RESTful (Representational State Transfer) API (application programming interface) has been developed for Network Security Manager. This allows you to either script or build custom user interface elements to manage a unit or tenant if you do not want to use the default user interface. Managed service providers (MSPs) may find this feature especially useful when customizing the product for their use.

Navigate to Manager View | API for details.

The image content differs for the SaaS and the On-premise versions.

In the SONICWALL END USER PRODUCT section, links to the NSM API Specification and the SonicOS API Specification are provided. Do not download, use, or install the APIs if you do not agree to the terms of the End Product User Agreement.
