An applications programming interface 20 to a telecommunications management network includes a command language interpreter 24 and a compiler 40. A command string input/output format is provided, the command strings 42 including network management parameters. The interpreter includes interpreter scripts for converting the network management parameters between the command string format and a network management protocol compatible format. The compiler compiles interpreter scripts for encoding and decoding user defined parameter types, which are then loaded dynamically to the interpreter. The interface provides a convenient 'command line' API, while at the same time permitting extensions to the interpreter in a dynamic manner.
