This appendix describes the XML-RPC methods that the API provides for access to the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN).

This API is based on XML-RPC, which enables applications to perform remote operations by encoding the procedure calls in XML and transmitting them over HTTP. For more information about XML-RPC, see http://www.xmlrpc.com/.

The API is accessed at the server entry point URL at https://linux-update.oracle.com/XMLRPC.
