  title: Infoblox WAPI (Web API) DHCP DNS Zones API
  description: RESTful API for managing Infoblox NIOS DDI (DNS, DHCP, IPAM) services, network objects, and configuration. The WAPI uses standard HTTP methods for CRUD operations and supports JSON and XML input and output formats. Authentication is handled via HTTP basic authentication or certificate-based authentication, and sessions can be maintained using cookies returned after initial authentication. The API follows a resource-oriented design where each NIOS object type is accessible as a REST resource.
