Description: A Network Topology API is a programming interface that allows developers to access and manipulate information about the structure and layout of a computer network. This API provides data on connected devices, their interconnections, and the hierarchy of the network, facilitating the visualization and management of network infrastructure. Key features of a Network Topology API include the ability to automatically discover devices on the network, obtain detailed information about each device, such as IP addresses, device types, and connection status, as well as the ability to make changes to network configuration. The relevance of these APIs lies in their ability to improve operational efficiency, enable better capacity planning, and facilitate troubleshooting by providing a clear view of network topology. In a world where networks are becoming increasingly complex and critical to business operations, having an API that offers accurate and up-to-date information about network topology becomes an essential tool for network administrators and software developers.
