Pulse

Ivanti's secure-access product family, formerly Pulse Secure, acquired by Ivanti in 2020. Three administrator-facing REST APIs configure and observe it: Ivanti Connect Secure for SSL VPN remote access, Ivanti Policy Secure for 802.1X and RADIUS/TACACS+ network access control, and Ivanti Neurons for Zero Trust Access for per-application ZTNA. Connect Secure and Policy Secure are customer-run appliances whose management API is reached at the customer's own host; nZTA is a hosted tenant. All three are configuration and management interfaces rather than data-plane APIs — they change who can reach what on a corporate network. Ivanti publishes no OpenAPI and no SDK for any of them; the published contract is prose documentation with worked curl examples plus a customer-portal Postman collection.

Pulse publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Ivanti Connect Secure REST API. Tagged areas include Ivanti, Network Security, Secure Access, SSL VPN, and VPN.

Pulse’s developer surface includes authentication, changelog, API reference, getting-started guide, support, documentation, engineering blog, and 24 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
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/pulse: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
