Administering IBM MQ by using the REST API

You can administer IBM® MQ objects, such as queue managers and queues, by using the administrative REST API. Information is sent to, and received by, the administrative REST API in the JSON format.

The default URL to access the administrative REST API is:

https://localhost:5554/ibmmq/rest/v1/admin

The port number is the same as that used by the appliance REST management interface, see Configuring the REST management interface.

To use the administrative REST API, you must be a user with access to the mq/webadmin or mq/webuser resource, and read access to the login/rest-mgmt resource (see User authorization, credential mapping, and access profiles and Access policies).

For detailed information, see Using the administrative REST API in the IBM MQ documentation.
