NITRO API
Jun 03, 20 14
The Citrix NetScaler SDX NITRO protocol allows you to configure and monitor the NetScaler SDX appliance
programmatically.
NIT RO exposes its functionality through Representational State Transfer (REST) interfaces. Therefore, NITRO applications
can be developed in any programming language. Additionally, for applications that must be developed in Java or .NET or
Python, the NITRO protocol is exposed as relevant libraries that are packaged as separate Software Development Kits
(SDKs).
Note: You must have a basic understanding of the NetScaler SDX appliance before using NITRO.
To use the NIT RO protocol, the client application needs the following:
Access to a NetScaler SDX appliance.
To use REST interfaces, you must have a system to generate HTTP or HTT PS requests (payload in JSON format) to the
NetScaler SDX appliance. You can use any programming language or tool.
For Java clients, you must have a system where Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.5 or above version is available. The JDK can
be downloaded from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.
For .NET clients, you must have a system where .NET framework 3.5 or above version is available. The .NET framework
can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx.
For Python clients, you must have a system where Python 2.7 or above version and the Requests library (available in
<NITRO_SDK_HOME>/lib) is installed.
