Cisco Automated Software Distribution API is one of 8 APIs that [Cisco Support APIs](https://apis.io/providers/cisco-support-apis/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Software Distribution, Downloads, Compliance, Support, and Networking. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an API reference.

The Automated Software Distribution API provides software release and image metadata for a device, MD5 checksums, and signed download URLs, and it electronically signs the K9 cryptographic-software and End User License agreements required before a download. It is the only write surface in the Support API portfolio: every operation is a POST, two of them execute legal agreements, and none has a documented idempotency mechanism.
