5 REST API Guide – OpenManage Essentials | Revision A02
Introduction
This document provides a guide for integrating with OpenManage Essentials using Representational State
Transfer (REST) APIs. It provides examples of using REST to perform common tasks based on integration
use cases with other products such as OpenManage Mobile, Repository Manager, and the Dell Software
group portfolio.
This document is not intended to be an introduction to REST. There are several publicly available
documents (for example, Fielding’s dissertation and RESTful Web services books) that provide the
necessary background information on REST.
