Using the API

After you read that all, you may think, “Does it have any API or something like that to interact with?”

Using API

To start XManage API, use:

:~# xmanage api start

Accesing API in Web

Check if API is running

:~# xmanage api status

After that, check if your port is opened and check this URL:

http://<server_ip>:8041/ # or your own port
https://<server_ip>:8041/ # in case of using it with SSL
