About - Zend Server 6.2

Zend Server WebAPI

The Zend Server WebAPI allows external systems to connect to a programmatic, restful API that allows access to all of Zend Server’s management features. Using the WebAPI, a 3rd party system can automate cluster management, application deployment, and other development and integration tasks.

The Zend Server UI is both an example and a test case for the use of the Zend Server WebAPI. Almost every functionality in the UI is executed via sthe WebAPI.

How does it work?

The WebAPI is a restful gateway that relies on a signature-based authentication solution for identity control. Seated behind the authentication mechanism is also a detailed permissions system that handles access control and allows you to limit access to your Zend Server.

After a response is generated by the WebAPI it will be parsed into either in XML or JSON, and returned to the requesting entity.
