The SNIA Common HBA API is an industry standard, programming interface for accessing management information in Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters (HBA). Developed through the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA), the HBA API has been overwhelmingly adopted by Storage Area Network vendors to help manage, monitor, and deploy storage area networks in an interoperable way.

The HBA API is implemented as a set of 'C' level APIs, which allow access to low level, Fibre Channel HBA information in a platform- and vendor- independent way.

The HBAVERIFY project is a software application, originally developed by TROIKA Networks, Inc. and released to open source, to help test implementations of the HBA API, and ensure compatibility across different vendor implementations.
