Explanation

Cisco Catalyst Center's northbound API is officially called the Intent API, which is a RESTful API that uses standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to allow external applications to communicate with the controller. While the northbound API itself is RESTful and JSON-based, it is the southbound interfaces that support multiple protocols like NETCONF, SSH, SNMP, and others to communicate with network devices - these southbound capabilities are still considered characteristics of the overall Catalyst Center platform. The northbound Intent API abstracts network complexity and expresses desired outcomes (intent) rather than device-level configurations.
