Here is an example how you can use the REST API on the BluecatDNSServer to query data via the workflow interface (alternatively you could use its API directly).
I am sure that you can use this concept for other web interfaces.
The script is a translation of a CURL request. It shows how to query the token and use this “BASIC Token” for further queries.
