RESTful API for interacting with IBM DataPower XC10?

Question

It looks like IBM has set up an XML Management Interface for interacting with DataPower appliances that uses SOAP but I'm wondering if there is a way to interact with DataPower XC10 appliances through REST. Like, is there a RESTful API available for interacting with DataPower XC10 appliances directly?

No RESTful API, but you can certainly use curl with the XML Management interface.

We can issue JSON commands via the "HTTP command interface" - http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSS8GR_2.5.0/com.ibm.websphere.datapower.xc.doc/appTaskToInfoCenter_v251.htm?lang=en

For example, to view all users, I issued this curl command:

curl -k -u xcadmin:xcadmin -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data-binary  {"task":{"stopOnTaskFailure":"true","command":"ViewAllUsers"}}' https://192.168.56.101/resources/appTaskInterface
