Backends 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 Backends API, used to control your ADC Backends.

List Backends

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