Enabling Native REST API
This document covers API version 8 supported by the HNAS native REST API. Native API mode was introduced in software release 13.9.6800, and will be used for future API improvements and features, replacing the previous legacy API versions.
To check which mode is enabled, use the rest-server-status command:
G800-443037-1:$ rest-server-status Node Rest Server ---- ----------- 1 running 2 running RestAPI server current mode is legacy.
To switch to native mode, stop the REST API server, enable native mode, and then restart the REST API server, using the following commands:
G800-443037-1:$ rest-server-stop The RestAPI server has been successfully stopped. G800-443037-1:$ rest-server-mode --native The RestAPI server mode change will not take affect until the RestAPI server is restarted. G800-443037-1:$ rest-server-start The RestAPI server has been successfully started. G800-443037-1:$ rest-server-status RestAPI server is running supported API versions: 07.2.1 08.0.0 RestAPI server current mode is native. G800-443037-1:$
