Executing the REST API calls

You can use different methods, such as cURL commands, HTTP client, Python, or Perl scripts to make the REST API calls. The document provides the sample API calls using HTTP client and cURL syntax.

In a Windows Command prompt, when using the cURL commands, pass the URL and <user>:<password> in double quotes as it fails to recognize special characters and single quotes.
