Clare, The answer is absolutely yes. Everything a user does through the web-based UI is doing through the REST API. The docs for the API can be found by selecting 'help' in any running instance. You can also find more here: https://nifi.apache.org/docs.html Just scroll down to "REST API".
So just as a user can interact with the REST API a developer can establish a programmatic mechanism to do the same (for stats, to change behavior, etc..). Feel free to ask more questions on that as you dig deeper.
