USM Anywhere offers a REST API framework that enables you to customize elements of data in your environment. The APIs return JSON responses with errors that use HTTP response codes. To access the API, you will need to create a client ID and secret code in the USM Anywhere interface, and use that information to create a token. USM Anywhere uses OAuth 2.0 to authenticate against the REST APIs.
