RESTful API

Service Manager also supports a Rest API Framework. You can use the Rest API Framework to support lightweight queries and operations on Service Manager data via a single URI. Using the Rest API Framework you can create an application that can perform Create, Read, Update, and Delete actions on Service Manager objects.

The Rest API Framework re-implements most of the functionality that the Service Manager SOAP implementation. Therefore, the Rest API Framework uses the same actions on objects as the SOAP implementation, and the implementation methods are similar.

For more information on the available actions, see the Allowed Actions tab field definitions in the Web Services Guide.
