The Swagger user interface provides complete details and documentation for each API operation.

What you'll need

  • You must be signed in to the Grid Manager using a supported browser.

  • You must have specific access permissions.

Important Any API operations you perform using the API Docs webpage are live operations. Be careful not to create, update, or delete configuration data or other data by mistake.
Steps

  1. Select Help > API Documentation from the Grid Manager header.

  2. Select the desired operation.

    When you expand an API operation, you can see the available HTTP actions, such as GET, PUT, UPDATE, and DELETE.

  3. Select an HTTP action to see the request details, including the endpoint URL, a list of any required or optional parameters, an example of the request body (when required), and the possible responses.

    Example from Swagger UI

  4. Determine if the request requires additional parameters, such as a group or user ID. Then, obtain these values. You might need to issue a different API request first to get the information you need.

  5. Determine if you need to modify the example request body. If so, you can click Model to learn the requirements for each field.

  6. Click Try it out.

  7. Provide any required parameters, or modify the request body as required.

  8. Click Execute.

  9. Review the response code to determine if the request was successful.
