What is a reason that a network engineer would use APIs?
- to automate configuration or data collection tasks
- to provide a more robust security architecture
- to facilitate features across network devices that operate at different layers
- to provide upper management with information about network performance
Explanation: Application programming interfaces or APIs interact with one or more applications. APIs are commonly used to automate tasks, to facilitate data integration, and to increase the functionality of another application. Non-software engineers can now use APIs to automate configuration or data collection from network devices.
