https://docs.software-univention.de/developer-reference-5.0.html#udm:rest_api

starts with

"6.8. UDM REST API
UCS provides a REST API which can be used to inspect, modify, create and delete UDM objects via HTTP requests.

The API is accessible from https://FQHN/univention/udm/."

But this gave zero success in my experience.

Chat reply from the core developer:

A: "You're on the HTML view - you won't really be able to use that - that's for UMC (once we switch to that). Those are two independent forms you see there. We have a create wizard where you normally select container, template, etc before you get to the actual create page."

Q: "Ok, so how do I use it so that I can create a user with it?"

A: "The HTML view is not meant to create anything - that is only meant for machines to create a UMC representation from it in the end via Javascript."

The documentation continues in 6.8.2. API overview with the statement:

"By visiting https://<SERVERNAME-OR-IP>/univention/udm/ with a browser you can navigate and use the API interactively."

Apparently this is not true. We should write developer documentation that at least *we* can use.
