Overview
The Barracuda Load Balancer ADC Representational State Transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface (API) enables you to remotely administer and configure your Barracuda Load Balancer ADC. The REST API can be used to complete large configurations by automating the manual configuration process available through the web interface. For example, you can use the REST API to create services.
You identify resources by their URIs and use HTTP to send requests to the Barracuda Load Balancer ADC. Your application parses the response, which is always returned using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). You can use any programming language to interact with the API.
The complete documentation for the Barracuda Load Balancer ADC REST API is provided in the following guide:
Code examples in this reference guide are written in Curl. If you are using Perl, see the Perl Implementation section of this guide.
