Hi qq.
You didn't specify what you would like to achieve. If you would like to have online log transfer when event occur, then SYSLOG is the way to go. If you would like to retrieve the logs with specific filter on demand, then REST API is a way to go. What is available check in API Explorer on Clearpass or in pyclearpass python module.
Best, Gorazd

Hello
The clear pass can interface with ICMS (integrated control and manage system) via RESTful/Rest API or others, for control and management?
What functions does it have in this restful/rest API that can fulfill this interface?

You could try to use 
API endpoints to get selected logs.
You can use pyclearpass to simplify access to those APIs. Link https://github.com/aruba/pyclearpass

ClearPass is vendor agnostic so yes, you can use non Aruba gear. There are many RADIUS dictionaries already included in ClearPass. You can also add your custom dictionaries.
For logs there is usually SYSLOG to get logs sent in almost realtime on your platform of choice. REST API is usually not used for logging events.

1. Can Aruba AC and ClearPass logs be sent to a third-party platform via an API? Our software platform uses RESTful, but the link https://developer.arubanetworks.com/cppm/docs/introduction uses REST. I'm not sure what the difference is.
2. Can ClearPass use third-party ACs and APs for access control? Cisco or Huawei APs.
