Where is the new REST API documentation?

The release notes for 11.4 mention visting devcentral.com to download the REST API documentation... I can't seem to find it, though. Any specific URL someone can point me to?

 

 

Thanks,

    Thanks.
  • Hi Matt,

     

     

    Joe Pruitt was helpful enough to write up an article and link to the current API doc here:

  • Awesome, thanks. I've taken a look at the manual and so far it looks impressive. A real, honest to goodness, REST API that seems to follow REST best practices. I also like how it models tmsh more than it models SOAP iControl -- this should expose a lot of new data. (Unverified but I am hopeful!) A lot of times there are values I see in tmsh show output that I would love to pull through SOAP iControl. It seems F5 has exposed a lot more now. One thing that still bugs me is that you can't create an API-only account. Why why why why why? Especially after spending all this time creating this elaborate authorization mechanism for the REST API?
