NSP APIs

External / public APIs

The NSP architecture publicizes the following APIs for Online Support System (OSS) clients:

  • NSP REST—for HTTP CRUD (Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete) operations on NSP carrier SDN, NFM-P and NSP objects

  • NSP RESTCONF—for communication with the NSP system and state notifications

  • NSP Kafka—for event and alarm notifications about the managed network

See the Network Developer Portal Documentation for information.

Note: The available API functions depend on which NSP installation options you specify during system deployment.

Classic management APIs

The NFM-P has the following APIs:

  • NFM-P REST—provides access to network management functions for use cases that the NSP APIs do not fulfill

  • NFM-P XML SOAP/JMS—for SNMP network management; see the NSP NFM-P XML API Developer Guide for information
