Getting Started with SAS^® Viya^® REST APIs

REST APIs provide a way to access the capabilities of SAS Viya using standard, open HTTP network protocols. With SAS' REST APIs, you can create and access SAS resources using any client technology, such as Java, Lua, Python, JavaScript, C, C#, Perl, Scala, or other programming languages. All that is necessary is a standard library for executing HTTP requests and parsing/generating JSON data.
