    Specifically if you take the URL to your JSS and add /api to the end you will see the API available to you on your API.

    For example:
    https://jss.company.com:8443/api

    you can interact with the API using curl to pull / push information from / to the JSS:

    A good way to learn about the API would be to check out this great presentation by Brad Schmidt from the last JAMF Nation user conference: JNUC 2015 | Why API? Using the REST API in an Educational Environment
