REST API to take a pool member to offline/online in F5 ltm

I am trying to bring a pool member offline during maintenance and bring it back to online once maintenance is over. My device F5 LTM. Is there any REST API to do this (which can help me in taking a pool member to offline and bring it back online using REST API)?.

    Using curl, you could do it like that:

    DISABLE pool member:
curl -sk -u admin:password https://1.2.3.4:443/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~Common~testweb_pool/members/~Common~host1:80 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X PUT -d "{\"session\":\"user-disabled\"}"
ENABLE pool member:
curl -sk -u admin:password https://1.2.3.4:443/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~Common~testweb_pool/members/~Common~host1:80 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X PUT -d "{\"session\":\"user-enabled\"}"

    You can adopt this using any language / REST client you like.
