F5 BIG-IQ API¶
Welcome to the F5® BIG-IQ™ API page. The BIG-IQ 5.4 API is a well-documented REST API that provides a range of capabilities for scripting BIG-IQ workflows. Many BIG-IQ users may choose to script BIG-IQ workflows using public APIs to help make the deployment and management of applications on the BIG-IP system easier. For example, an application manager can use the BIG-IQ Public API in scripts to monitor, troubleshoot, modify, and largely manage their application throughout its lifecycle.
These APIs follow the Representational State Transfer (REST) model for both public and private consumption. The REST model uses the web architecture of HTTP and the concept of exchanging resource state.
THE BIG-IQ API’s ARE DESIGNED AND TESTED FOR VERSIONS 5.2+. ANY USAGE ON PREVIOUS VERSIONS IS NOT SUPPORTED
