Introduction

Automated DDI workflow management provides many benefits to large-scale organizations. It minimizes manual tasks, increases IT productivity, and the ability to focus on strategic opportunities that drive business growth. Automation standardizes network management processes to enforce best practices and rapidly deliver services at scale. This white paper provides insights into DDI workflow automation using curl commands.

What is Curl Command

Curl is a command-line tool that enables interaction with APIs by sending HTTP requests to a server and receiving responses. These requests are made using different HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE, each of which has a different functionality, such as retrieving or creating/updating a resource on the server. The server responds in formats like JSON, XML, or plain text.
