Endpoints reference list

Navigate to specific endpoints and review available REST operations. Endpoints are listed alphabetically.

The PUT operation is not available for REST API endpoints. Depending on the endpoint, you can use a POST operation to create and/or update resources. Check specific endpoints for details.


Namespace access
Some resources in the REST API are associated with specific namespaced user and app contexts.

To access namespaces associated with all users, all apps, or resources shared by all users for an endpoint (similar to 'file globbing' or 'recursion' of input directories), make a GET request using servicesNS with wildcard - characters for the app and user. For example, use /servicesNS/-/-/saved/searches.

For more details, see Namespace in the REST API User Manual.
