Resource APIs can be used to:
- Collect information about CVP inventory, tags, events ...
- Configure tags, decommission devices ...
From CVP 2022.1.0, a resource API explorer is available in the CVP GUI.
Resources are modeled with .proto files:
- These files can be found in the repository https://github.com/aristanetworks/cloudvision-apis
- Documentation for these APIs is published on this web page https://aristanetworks.github.io/cloudvision-apis/
Resources APIs are accessed with gRPC. CVP is the gRPC server. We can use gRPC clients (gPRCurl, grpc_cli, Postman, ...) to call the RPC methods on CVP.
REST APIs mappings are generated so we can also use a REST clients (cURL, Python request module, ...) for resource APIs.
Token based authentication is required. To enable token based authentication, refer to this directory
