SAYMON REST API

The SAYMON API is implemented as a RESTful service. It uses standard HTTP methods for requests and returns responses in the JSON format. The API allows you to perform the same operations as you can do using a web interface (referred to as SAYMON UI). For example, you can get objects' current states and their state history, write data to objects without using agents, work with incidents, create classes, etc.
