Enabling Native REST API
This document covers API version 8.1 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.
The legacy REST API has been removed from software release 14.6.7500, so can no longer be enabled.
To check if the Native REST API is enabled, use either the rest-server-status or rest-server-show commands:
G800-443037-1:$ rest-server-status RestAPI server is not running supported API versions: 07.2.1 08.1.0 RestAPI server current mode is native. G800-443037-1:$ rest-server-show The RestAPI server is not running. G800-443037-1:$
To enable the REST API server, use the rest-server-start command:
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 08.1.0 RestAPI server current mode is native. G800-443037-1:$
