Using the /config API with cURL and subsequent sections explained how to access the V‑Spark API from the command line by using the cURL command. This is a common way of integrating API calls into scripts and V‑Spark maintenance processes, but calling the API directly from application code is equally common. The next few sections provide examples of using the GET, POST, and DELETE methods with the /config API from within applications that are written using the Python programming language.
