Enabling the web services API

To enable the Web Services API on an integrated appliance:

In a terminal window, log in to the command-line interface (CLI) on the appliance where you will run the Web Services API.

Enable the CLI configuration mode:

hostname > enable
hostname # configure terminal

Enable the Web Services API:
```
hostname (config) # wsapi enable
```

Verify that the Web Services API is enabled.

For example, if you run the show wsapi command on the following appliances:
