Thank you Jim, I think this might be overdue need.
Time permitting, I'll try to create a small write up within next couple
of weeks based on my experience. Will you be ok to use it as your
starting point?
Problem with documenting in the API format is it does get locked up as
soon as you publish it and I really don't know how frequently these
pieces change.

It is true that a formal API isn't documented (I should get on that...
it *is* long overdue) but it is easy to determine it via looking at
the balancer_handler function in
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/branches/2.4.x/modules/proxy/mod_proxy_balancer.c?view=markup
or by looking at the HTML of the balancer manager page.

Changes made in balancer-manager do not require a restart to take
effect. You might try Python/Beautiful Soup for programmatic access.

Greetings,
On Apache 2.4.18, Ubuntu.
I am looking for a way to access balancer manager
programmatically. I
tried searching around, but could not find any officially
documented API
or interfaces.
We are a small organization hosted in AWS. Sometimes we have a
need to
add/remove a load balancer worker in/from traffic as per current
conditions and to save the costs. We are trying to automate these
actions to avoid mistakes and control these processes via
tools/scripts.
We have scripts that can spawn or stop AWS instances and now I'm
looking
for extending those scripts add/remove members as per need.
I came across few curl scripts, but wanted to check if there is any
official programmatic access to balancer manager to add a member.
Also it's not clear if I tinker with worker members using manager
gui
like documented at
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypass, do I
need to reload the server again or changes will be automatically
applied.
Regards,
Niranjan
