      The AppDynamics Controller REST API provides programmatic access to the
      AppDynamics Controller for retrieving application performance data,
      managing configurations, and automating monitoring workflows. The API
      uses standard HTTP methods and returns data in XML or JSON format, with
      the base URI pattern of /controller/rest/. Developers can use it to
      query application metrics, retrieve transaction snapshots, manage
      business transactions, and access topology information for monitored
      applications.
