We already worked with one connector (Cisco ASR Manager) that is using NETCONF to configure interfaces. Basically, it opens a NETCONF session to send NETCONF commands and this uses YANG-models to select what data we are querying. This has been used to get interface data and to set bandwidth and service policies.

Note that the YANG-API and NETCONF are different protocols to manage YANG data model. NETCONF is based on RPC and where as YANG-API is RESTful. Agree that the device integration can be done by NETCONF or through YANG-API depending on the requirements.

YANG: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6020
NETCONF: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6241
RESTCONF(another popular http protocol): https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8040
