Introduction to Configuration APIs

The configuration section is dedicated to guiding users on understanding and effectively utilizing APIs to master device configuration in Central. Full configuration through API for Central devices has been a long awaited feature and it's finally here! Central configuration APIs now support end-to-end device provisioning via profiles.

There are several new key topics involved in successfully utilizing configuration APIs that will need to be learned compared to classic Central. A few standout mentions include understanding the hierarchy, scope management, and profile types.

The latest configuration APIs can be found in the configuration section of the API reference. Understanding these facets of the configuration APIs unlocks the potential for complete automation of device management using the API.
