RESTful API for BMC AMI Console Management
The BMC AMI Console Management RESTful API provides a set of endpoints that allow an API program to query and update configuration information from the BMC AMI Console Management configuration database:
- The API accesses services via HTTP version 1.1. For more information about HTTP 1.1, see
W3C internet standards document RFC 2615
. - The BMC AMI Console Management web server provides TLS encryption for all connections.
- Because most API calls require authentication, a session-creation call (LOGON) returns an authentication token for use in the HTTP header of subsequent requests.
Note
The RESTful API does not assume any particular client user agent or programming language. For information about how to use HTTP services in your preferred programming language, see the resources for your development environment.
User authentication and roles
Except for a single /api/version information call, all BMC AMI Console Management RESTful API requests require user authentication. After login, an API request must include the x-api-session header. If the x-api-session header is not present, the server returns an HTTP 403 (Not Authorized) error.
