300-635 Exam Dumps : Automating Cisco Data Center Networking Solutions

The API Inspector in Cisco’s APIC is used to capture and display API requests made by the APIC GUI. It helps users learn or identify the sequence of API calls for specific operations performed in the APIC GUI. This tool is useful for developers who want to automate tasks using RESTful APIs by providing them with exact API calls that can be replicated in scripts or applications. References :=

Synchronous API calls are blocking, meaning they hold up code execution until a response is returned from the server. This can lead to perceived latency or performance lag in an application if not managed properly. In contrast, asynchronous API calls do not block code execution; they allow the program to continue running and handle the response once it’s available, typically through a callback function

 The DCNM API is REST-based, allowing third parties to test and develop application software. It supports a wide range of operations that can also be performed using the DCNM GUI, which uses these REST APIs to render the GUI itself. This means that the same tasks available through the API can be accessed and managed through the graphical user interface, providing flexibility in how network administrators interact with DCNM23.
