The Ramp API (Application Programming Interface) uses a simple language called RPL to manage and operate Ramp simulations and retrieve data for remote processing. It can be used in three ways: directly, through the RPL Scripting Portal (S On/Off button); indirectly through the Javascript RPL Portal (JS On/Off button); and remotely from other platforms such as the R Statistical language.

Using RPL

RPL is aimple bytecode with instructions for adjusting parameter values, controlling runs, and retrieving data. There are RPL instructions to perform virtually any task a user might perform directly by changing sliders, adjusting runtimes or saving data to CSV files.

Each instruction in RPL consists of an op code followed by 0 or more arguments.
