REST (Representational State Transfer) is a web service that uses basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) operations performed on resources using HTTP POST, GET, PUT, and DELETE. To learn more about REST concepts, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer.

The appliance has a resource-oriented architecture that provides a uniform REST interface. Every resource has one URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) and represents a physical device or logical construct. You can use REST APIs to manipulate resources. To view a list of resources, see the HPE OneView REST API Reference.
