Today we live in a world powered by REST APIs. And when it comes to REST API’s, PowerStore’s is fantastic. Why? An important thing to understand is that PowerStore is a REST API first system, which means all functionality that is exposed externally has been made available through the API. This also means that other interfaces such as the CLI or the GUI are in fact consumers of the REST API. This is the second part of a a recent blog post and a video I published explaining some of the most important features of the PowerStore REST API.

Postman is a great tool to explore REST API’s and can be downloaded for free The Postman collection for PowerStore that I am going to show in this article can be found in https://github.com/cermegno/Project-Vision Project Vis

I recently recorded a video introducing the PowerStore REST API. The API in PowerStore is great. It is very comprehensive and addresses all management aspects of the array Documentation for the API is available through Swagger UI. But if you like the old fashioned API reference guide, you can also get it here The video shows also how authentication works and the advanced request parameters, which allows developers to perform powerful queries with the REST API The demo uses a Postman collection from Project Vision. You can get this and other collections for other DellEMC products from this GitHub repo: https://github.com/cermegno/Project-Vision I hope you enjoy the video
