LoadMaster provides an interface designed to allow remote applications access in a simple and consistent manner. The interface is a REST-like interface. REST (REpresentational State Transfer) is a style of software architecture for distributed systems and is one of the predominant web service design models.

The LoadMaster RESTful API works by allowing a user or application to pass HTTP requests to the LoadMaster. The LoadMaster answers the request with an XML-formatted response.

The interface is disabled by default. For more information on enabling the interface, please refer to Web User Interface (WUI), Configuration Guide.

For further details on the RESTful API, please refer to the RESTful API documentation.
