# Map-controller APIs
Overview of the exposed UBUS API as well as the TR-181 DataModel Operate
commands, which interact with `map-controller`.
## UBUS API
APIs exposed over the microbus are used primarily to issue CMDU requests for
network statistics or triggering operations, such as steering or scanning.
However, APIs are additionally available to expose data to the TR-181 DataModel
and debugging, such as steering statistics and network topology information.
