Cisco UCS Director offers JSON-based REST APIs that enable you to submit workflow requests, examine workflow inputs and output schemas, and fetch reports. You can integrate Cisco UCS Director APIs with the Cisco UCS Director PowerShell Console for improved automation of datacenter management.

Cisco UCS Director PowerShell Console provides cmdlet wrappers for the JSON-based APIs. Each cmdlet performs a single operation. The cmdlets are executed in a Microsoft Windows server. Depending on the data returned by the JSON-based APIs, the cmdlets automatically interpret the data and convert them to Windows PowerShell objects. You can chain multiple cmdlets together. To view a list of available cmdlets, see the Cmdlet List in the Cisco UCS Director PowerShell API Getting Started Guide.
