ADC API

Nova ADC provides an easy-to-use REST based API, with token based authentication. The entire product is exposed via API, allowing you to incorporate it into your DevOps tooling, or automate your scaling operations.

This guide is for the ADCs API, used to control your ADC configurations.

List ADCs

Method: GET
Endpoint: /api/adcs 

This will return a list of your ADCs and their attachments. It is important to note the "provider", which is the "type" of ADC you must use when editing them.

{
    "success": true,
    "data": {
        "adcs": [
            {
                "id": 3,
                "organisation_id": 1,
                "created_by": 2,
                "created_at": "2019-10-11 12:29:17",

                "name": "test",
                "provider": "ssl"
            }
        ],
        "attachments": {
            "3": {
                "1": {
                    "id": 1,
                    "organisation_id": 1,
                    "created_by": 2,
                    "created_at": "09:25:47+00",
                    "active": true,
                    "activated_by": null,
                    "activated_at": null,
                    "name": "Example Node",
                    "key": "...",
                    "uuid": "...",
                    "last_connected": null
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
