You are developing a network automation script that retrieves information. Which interface can you implement that will act similar to an API?

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) was originally created to allow retrieval of information from network devices and can be programmatically controlled, similar to an application programming interface (API). The command-line interface (CLI) is what the user will interface with; therefore, it is considered a type of user interface (UI). Syslog is a method of sending logging information to remote syslog servers. Secure Shell (SSH) is a method for connectivity and not used as an API.
