Try Administrative XML APIs

If you would like to explore Cisco AXL capabilities, or start developing your proof-of-concept solution, check out the DevNet Sandbox UC/Collaboration labs. These labs are free-to-access, reservable on a first-come basis 24x7 and provide full administrative access for flexibility in developing UC applications with AXL features.


  • Register with DevNet and the DevNet Sandbox
  • Reserve a 'Collaboration [Version]' lab instance
  • You will receive an email with Cisco VPN Anyconnect lab access instructions, as well as access info and credentials for the CUCM and other UC servers in the lab
NOTE: The UC Endpoint lab is a shared environment, and lab users will not be able to access the admin-level AXL service. Please use a reserveable Collaboration lab for use with AXL and other admin-type APIs

If you are ready to take your AXL development and testing to the next level, you may be interested in building out your own UC/CUCM lab instance. Please see the Solution Partner Program for info on joining the program and enjoying access to the Not-for-Resale UC Bundle and other SPP member discounts.
