## About the Kiali Public API
## About the Kiali Developer API
To generate JSON files representing the graphs and other metrics, health, and
configuration information, you can access the
[Kiali Public API](https://www.kiali.io/api).
[Kiali Developer API](https://www.kiali.io/api).
For example, point your browser to `$KIALI_URL/api/namespaces/graph?namespaces=bookinfo&graphType=app`
to get the JSON representation of your graph using the `app` graph type.
The Kiali Public API is built on top of Prometheus queries and depends on the
The Kiali Developer API is built on top of Prometheus queries and depends on the
standard Istio metric configuration. It also makes Kubernetes API calls to
obtain additional details about your services. For the best experience using
Kiali, use the metadata labels `app` and `version` on your application
components. As a template, the Bookinfo sample application follows this
convention.
Please note the Kiali Developer API can change from version to version with no guarantee of backward compatibility.
## Additional Features
Kiali has more features than reviewed in this task, such as an [integration with Jaeger tracing](https://kiali.io/documentation/latest/features/#_detail_traces).
For more details on these additional features, see the [Kiali documentation](https://kiali.io/documentation/latest/features/).
## Cleanup
If you are not planning any follow-up tasks, remove the Bookinfo sample application and Kiali from your cluster.
