iControl REST API introduction

Hi!

 

I've written a guide on how to get started with the F5 REST API. There's plenty of official F5 guides out there, but I tried to make this one a bit more distilled and base it on some lessons that I learned over the year when working on BigIP Report and my contributions to the indeni monitoring repository.

 

Examples:

 

• Reading configuration from the REST API
• Changing configuration via the REST API
• Some performance considerations
• Some common issues
• What to do when the API documentation is insufficient

It's a work in progress so feedback is much appreciated. Hope it helps someone!
