The AWS Management Console includes a console for MediaPackage, but if you want to access the services programmatically, see the following:
+ The API guides document the operations that the services support and provide links to the related SDK and CLI documentation:
  + [AWS Elemental MediaPackage API Reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/mediapackage/latest/apireference/)
+ To call an API without having to handle low-level details like assembling raw HTTP requests, you can use an AWS SDK. The AWS SDKs provide functions and data types that encapsulate the functionality of AWS services. To download an AWS SDK and access installation instructions, see the applicable page: 
  + [Go](https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/)
  + [JavaScript](http://aws.amazon.com/sdkforbrowser/)
  + [.NET](https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-net/)
  + [Node.js](https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-node-js/)
  + [Python](https://github.com/boto/boto)
  + [Ruby](https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-ruby/)

  For a complete list of AWS SDKs, see [Tools for Amazon Web Services](http://aws.amazon.com/tools/).
+ You can use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) to control multiple AWS services from the command line. You can also automate your commands using scripts. For more information, see [AWS Command Line Interface](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/).
+ AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell supports these AWS services. For more information, see [AWS Tools for PowerShell Cmdlet Reference](http://aws.amazon.com/documentation/powershell/).
