Executing a RESTful API in <API_Explorer>

Using <API_Explorer>, you can send a request to your CommCell environment using the supported RESTful APIs and view the response from your Web Console.

Procedure

1. Open <API_Explorer>.

2. Under the section name, click the name of the RESTful API endpoint that you want to execute.

   For example, under Virtualization, click POST /v2/vsa/hypervisors to create a new virtualization client.

   Note: If there is a lock icon next to the endpoint name, then you must authenticate before you can use the REST API. For more information, see Authorizing RESTful API Requests in <API_Explorer>.

3. In the top-right corner of the endpoint box, click Try it out.

4. If the REST API has user-defined parameters, enter the parameter values in the appropriate boxes.

5. If the REST API has a request body, edit the value of the JSON model with the appropriate values.

6. Click Execute.

   The request and the response details appear.
