Where is the new REST API documentation?
The release notes for 11.4 mention visting devcentral.com to download the REST API documentation... I can't seem to find it, though. Any specific URL someone can point me to?
Thanks,

Hi Matt,
Joe Pruitt was helpful enough to write up an article and link to the current API doc here:

Awesome, thanks. I've taken a look at the manual and so far it looks impressive. A real, honest to goodness, REST API that seems to follow REST best practices. I also like how it models tmsh more than it models SOAP iControl -- this should expose a lot of new data. (Unverified but I am hopeful!) A lot of times there are values I see in tmsh show output that I would love to pull through SOAP iControl. It seems F5 has exposed a lot more now. One thing that still bugs me is that you can't create an API-only account. Why why why why why? Especially after spending all this time creating this elaborate authorization mechanism for the REST API? - Maria_78669Historic F5 Account

The getting started page is a good place to start. The links to the user guide and codeshare are towards the bottom.
