1.2. Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization REST API Prerequisites
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization REST API Prerequisites
- A networked installation of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager, which includes the REST API.
- A client or programming library that initiates and receives HTTP requests from the REST API. For example:
- Python software development kit (SDK)
- Java software development kit (SDK)
- cURL command line tool
- RESTClient, a debugger for RESTful web services
- Knowledge of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which is the protocol used for REST API interactions. The Internet Engineering Task Force provides a Request for Comments (RFC) explaining the Hypertext Transfer Protocol at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt.
- Knowledge of Extensible Markup Language (XML) or JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), which the API uses to construct resource representations. The W3C provides a full specification on XML at http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/. ECMA International provide a free publication on JSON at http://www.ecma-international.org.
Where did the comment section go?

We decided to re-evaluate our commenting platform to ensure that it meets your expectations and serves as an optimal feedback mechanism. During this redesign, we invite your input on providing feedback on Red Hat documentation via the discussion platform.
