The newly introduced REST API methods simplify automation and integration by allowing IT teams to automate IT Management Suite workflows using modern, widely adopted standards, significantly reducing the complexity associated with legacy SOAP-based APIs.
By grouping REST API methods by functionality, the platform provides a unified and consistent API model that makes endpoints easier to discover, understand, and consume, improving overall usability.
These REST APIs also enhance patch and IT management automation by consolidating functionality that was previously spread across separate APIs into a single, consistent interface.
This consolidation enables administrators to streamline operations, reduce manual effort, and automate critical workflows more effectively.
In addition, REST APIs support faster development and scripting by working seamlessly with common scripting languages and automation tools, accelerating custom integrations, self-service processes, and orchestration with external systems.
Introduced with ITMS 8.8, the REST API modernizes the Symantec Management Platform, making it more extensible, easier to integrate, and better aligned with cloud, DevOps, and automation frameworks. The ITMS ASDK now supports REST API methods, which are documented on your SMP server at this URL: https://localhost/Altiris/ASDK.REST/swagger/ui/index
Usage Scenario:
- Simplified automation and integration using modern REST standards
- Consistent, functional API structure that makes endpoints easy to discover and use
- Streamlined patch and IT automation through a single, unified REST interface
- Faster development and scripting with common tools and languages
- Future-ready platform architecture aligned with cloud, DevOps, and automation frameworks
