Overview McAfee® Network Security Manager (NSM) provides an Application Programming Interface (API) framework for external applications to access core Network Security Platform (NSP) functionalities through the REST protocol. REST stands for Representational State Transfer. It relies on a stateless, client-server and cacheable communication protocol – HTTP. It is an architecture style for designing networked applications. RESTful applications use HTTP requests to post data (create and/or update), get data (query information) and delete data. Thus, REST uses HTTP for all CRUD (Create/Read/Update/Delete) operations. It is a lightweight alternative to mechanisms like RPC (Remote Procedure Calls) and Web Services (SOAP, WSDL, et al.). SDK API accessSDK Authentication/Validation Every request needs to pass a custom header, called NSM-SDK-API. The header will carry a base64 encoded value. If the header is not passed in a request, the request will result into an exception. Version Support
