Before we dive into the latest OneAPI news, we need to answer a simple question for the uninitiated. What even is OneAPI?OneAPI is the singular application programming interface (API) for the entire Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform. It provides programmatic access that enables integrations with any Zscaler solutions, and lets admins deploy and manage Zscaler via the tools where they prefer to oversee their IT products. This programmatic access (meaning access via code) also allows organizations to embrace Zero Trust Automation and make their use of Zscaler more autonomous. As one example, customers can use OneAPI to automate change implementation like policy configuration. As another example, they can use OneAPI to automate the retrieval of Zscaler analytics data and the creation of custom reports and dashboards. Overall, this reduces the need to spend time on manual tasks, minimizes the possibility of human administrative errors, and enhances scalability, precision, and security. So, how are we making things even better? The Zscaler Automation HubCustomers want implementing automation with Zscaler to be a simple and painless process—they want it to be as easy as possible to find API specifications, code samples, and more. To fulfill that desire, we’ve launched the Zscaler Automation Hub. This all-in-one resource provides everything that organizations need to streamline the setup of automation via OneAPI. It does this by providing:An AI-powered copilot that answers questions and surfaces relevant contentCollections of code snippets for basic tasks like pulling data about policy violationsPlaybook templates to automate multi-step workflows like deploying App ConnectorsComprehensive help documentation that includes API specifications, rate limits, getting started guides, sample use cases, and moreBy centralizing these resources, the hub helps organizations reduce the amount of effort that’s needed to automate the use of Zscaler. They can save time by eliminating manual setups. They can improve efficiency by leveraging workflows that can be repeated for different use cases. And they can enhance ROI by minimizing management overhead and freeing up admins to focus on value-creating work. To see the hub for yourself, you can visit it at automate.zscaler.com or watch a demo here. Additional API coverage for configuration and management OneAPI is constantly evolving to provide broader coverage of public APIs that can be used to configure and manage Zscaler products. Recent updates let admins leverage OneAPI to administer: Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) PAC filesClient Connector forwarding and app profilesZscaler Private Access (ZPA) app protectionShadow IT reportingSSL inspection policiesAnd much more that you can explore here Analytics for key ZIA data domainsThrough GraphQL, OneAPI provides programmatic access to key Zscaler analytics. With this capability, customers can now pull Zscaler Internet Access data to build custom dashboards, analyze trends, and extract insights related to:SaaS securityShadow ITInternet of things (IoT) securityThe Zscaler Zero Trust FirewallCybersecurity postureAnd web traffic behavior across their organizationAutomation for ZIdentity configurationsLike other Zscaler solutions, the Zscaler authentication service, ZIdentity, can be accessed programmatically via OneAPI. As a result, admins can now let automation manage users and groups in Zscaler, as well as API clients. More details on how this works can be found here.Where to go from hereWant to start your Zero Trust Automation journey with Zscaler? Visit the Automation Hub and, in particular, look at our official SDKs and Postman collections, which can help you get up and running quickly.
