Webex Macros, APIs and Programmability for Webex Devices, Control Hub and Meetings (WBXMAP) V1.0

This 5-day class is meant for Administrators and Engineers that are starting their Journey Towards Programmability for Webex and Devices. It covers the Basics of REST, JSON, Python, Postman, JavaScript, Bots, Integrations, UI Extensions, Macros, and Digital Signage. Student will use Postman, Ansible and other programs to be able to gather statistics, monitor, and configure the Webex Portal and Webex Devices. Students will setup Macros to be able to Control Lighting systems and Room Controls. Students will create Python Scripts to Create and Modify Webex Meetings.

How you’ll benefit

This class will help you:

• This class will help Students bridge the gap between CLI/GUI and API
• Students will get introduced to API Technologies and will start them on their Journey to API Engineering
