# About the REST API

Legacy Orchestrator has a RESTful (Representational State Transfer) API. Also known as a REST API. It allows other systems to access the web services of Legacy Orchestrator programmatically.

Software developers can use the REST API to develop client applications that communicate directly with a running Legacy Orchestrator system. The REST API supports:

- Addition of devices
- Retrieval of inventory
- Management of configuration jobs
- SAT testing
- Management of performance sessions

The following sections briefly describe the REST API and explain how to access online documentation for the REST API.
