REST API endpoints

Representational State Transfer (REST) application programming interfaces (APIs) are service endpoints that support sets of HTTP operations that can create, retrieve, update, or delete access to the client management service's resources. An endpoint can send data to and receive data from the server.

If the Operations Center and the backup-archive client are at version 8.1.13 or later, client management service endpoints are in the backup-archive client web API. The Operations Center communicates directly with the API.

The REST API endpoints in the following table can be used if both the backup-archive client and the Operations Center are at 8.1.13 or later.
