Having trouble with the API explorer? Go to the Aruba Support Portal

Using the API Explorer

You should first log in to the AFC web interface which automatically sets up a session cookie through which this API Explorer can send authenticated requests to the AFC API.

API Authentication via HTTP Clients

To use this API from your chosen HTTP client, you'll first need to obtain an API key via POST /auth/token and use one of the following with subsequent requests that require authentication:

Leverage your client's session (cookie) support (via the Authorization key of the Cookie header)
Send the token as the value of the Authorization header

NOTE: the following header is deprecated and subject to removal in a future release:

Clients may automatically "refresh" their authentication token (extending its expiration time) by passing the X-Auth-Refresh-Token header with a value of true in any authenticated request.

API Response Formats

Unless specifically noted in the documentation for a given API call, this API sends response bodies in the JSON format. This must be expressed by HTTP clients using one of the following values in the Accept header:

application/json
*/*

API Versions

There are two ways to specify the Aruba Fabric Composer API version in your requests:

Include the value version=1.0 in the Accept header; for example: Accept: application/json; version=1.0 ensures that the API responds in the supported body format and uses API version 1.0
URL path; for example, to request API version 1: https://fabricmanager.example.com/api/v1

Generic Response Filtering

Generic object filtering is available for all API GET endpoints using the filter parameter. More information and examples here: Filtering API
