Nerdio

Nerdio (Nerdio, Inc., founded 2017, Chicago) builds automation and cost-optimization software for Microsoft cloud desktop environments — Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, Intune and Microsoft 365. Its two products are Nerdio Manager for Enterprise (NME), an Azure-hosted management layer that IT departments deploy into their own Azure subscription to provision AVD host pools, manage desktop images, run scripted actions and drive auto-scale, and Nerdio Manager for MSP (NMM), a multi-tenant console managed service providers use to run hundreds of client environments. Both products expose a REST API that customers enable per install (OAuth2 client-credentials against Microsoft Entra ID, with Swagger and a downloadable Postman collection served from the install itself), and Nerdio additionally operates a public, internet-facing Distributor API used by NMM distributors to register, suspend, reactivate and cancel partner installs and to pull usage and invoice data. Nerdio publishes a first-party PowerShell module generated from the NME API specification with AutoRest.

Nerdio publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Health API, Install API, Invoices API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Company, Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, and Cloud Desktop Management.

The Nerdio catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Nerdio’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 25 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/nerdio: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  description: REST API for Nerdio Manager for Enterprise. The API is disabled by default and is enabled per install from
    System > Settings > Integrations, which provisions an Entra ID application under the nerdio-nmw-app app registration and
    issues a client id/secret. Because NME is deployed into the customer's own Azure subscription, the API is served from
    that install's App Service host under /api/v1, with interactive Swagger documentation and a downloadable Postman collection
    served from the same install. It covers ARM host pools and session hosts, desktop images, auto-scale profiles, scripted
    actions, app attach, app management policies, FSLogix and Azure Files storage, notifications, users and roles, and cost
    attribution.
