So you want to work with Delphix APIs?

What is RESTFul? API? JSON? CLI? Object Reference? GET/POST? Cookies? HTTP/HTTPS? cURL? Where do I begin? Who can help me? Documentation? Tutorials? That's great for Linux, but I am on Windows? Parse? Don't have a clue about sed, awk, grep, cut, and other acronyms. What about Regular Expressions, like "Hello"?

Just a small sampling of questions that you may or may not know the answers to, let alone learning Delphix and a programming language. Delphix is a technical product, and being new to the Delphix family can be a bit overwhelming. The goal for this document is simple: to enable users to get up to speed quickly on how to use Delphix APIs.
