In your very helpful reply, Michael, you wrote: “this depends on which (Karaf) features you install; specific ODL sub-projects may be able to give you more details answers.” Certainly that’s the case. I’m trying to determine the list of ALL available Northbound APIs. Also, I think you can see that I wouldn’t know which ODL sub-projects to examine until I already had that list. What I’m gleaning from your reply is: 1. There is no authoritative, comprehensive list of available Northbound APIs in the ODL documentation. 2. The only way to reliably construct that list is to go through every single ODL feature and do whatever research is required to understand whether it’s implementing a Northbound API. That is, for example, if I didn’t already know ODL offers a Northbound OpenFlow API, the only way I could discover this would be to walk through all the features. Is that understanding correct?

I’m certain there are many more, but I’m not certain how to construct an exhaustive list of what’s available. I understand that people outside the OpenDaylight project might be constructing Northbound APIs and, in principle, there’s no way to discover all those. To be specific, I want to construct the list of Northbound APIs available to me in a new Nitrogen installation. Simply looking through the hundreds of available features isn’t a good way to figure this out. What should I be doing? this depends on which (Karaf) features you install; specific ODL sub-projects may be able to give you more details answers. For all YANG based RPCs, you can use the Swagger apidocs from the RESTCONF project, do you know about that? See e.g. https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/OpenDaylight_Controller:MD-SAL:Restconf_API_Explorer - not sure that's best/latest; others may have better pointers. The Neutron Northbound are pure REST API which are not YANG RPCs, those won't appear there. Other project may contribute others. Best of luck.
