Cisco APIC REST API is published by [Cisco ACI](https://apis.io/providers/cisco-aci/) on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network.

The Application Policy Infrastructure Controller REST API is the single programmatic interface into the ACI Management Information Tree. GET, POST and DELETE against /api/mo/<distinguished-name>.json (managed-object addressing) or /api/class/<class-name>.json (class queries) read and write policy — tenants, application profiles, EPGs, bridge domains, VRFs, contracts, filters, L3Outs — plus statistics, faults and audit records. Query scoping, filtering, ordering and pagination are expressed as URI parameters (query-target, target-subtree-class, rsp-subtree, order-by, page, page-size). The same endpoints support ?subscription=yes to open a WebSocket push-notification channel.
