In this chapter, we learned how to create a web framework, which acts as a wrapper for scripts. Once wrapped, the scripts become an API, which can then be used in various programming languages and tools. Additionally, we looked at examples on how to call the APIs (encode and decode) from different tools and programming languages.
Finally, we created a working example to identify any down management interfaces (Loopback45) using Splunk, through the web framework. We performed this operation by leveraging a voice-based interaction from Alexa and demonstrated the basic steps to create a skill in Alexa to perform this task.
