API examples

These examples use the command-line application cURL with JSON data. The management server is assumed to be located at https://example.com/ with a user whose username is “api” having password “pword”.

Note

curl has a few command line switches used throughout these examples:

• -H specify extra headers
• -u username and password authentication
• -X request method, which defaults to GET
• -d specify which data to send as POST (or PUT or PATCH). If it starts with an “@” will send the contents of that file.
• -k don’t verify server SSL certificate
