NetScaler Next-Gen API

NetScaler Next-Gen API is the newest version of NetScaler’s application programming interface (API). It enables you to programmatically configure NetScaler using an intuitive application-centric interface that abstracts away many of the low-level complexities of NetScaler configurations.

Using a declarative approach to attain the desired state for hybrid and multi-cloud application delivery, NetScaler Next-Gen API is ideal for application developers and others without advanced networking or NetScaler expertise. Because the configuration of NetScaler ADCs is automated, it frees you to focus on your applications.
