REST Api Version 2

A new version of REST APIs has been introduced with this version of grid.

The two sets of REST APIs are both available in this version of the grid but the old REST API should be considered deprecated in this release and will be removed in future releases of grid.

While the older version is documented in this guide, the documentation and a testing tool for Infor ION Grid REST API version 2 is instead available on all grid routers.

To read the documentation and test the Infor ION Grid REST API:

  1. Open a supported web browser.
  2. Navigate to this URL:

    http(s)://server:port/grid/rest where server is the name of the server hosting the grid and port is the HTTP or HTTPS port for the grid router.

  3. The Infor ION Grid REST API UI with a listing of available resources is displayed.

    • Click the name of a resource to expand the listing of available operations.

    • Click the name of an operation to display details about that operation.

    • Clicking the operation link again will minimize the operation.

Note about PUT and POST operations: By clicking the Model Schema link in the Parameters section a JSON skeleton of what the input for that operation looks like is displayed. Clicking this JSON skeleton will fill the Value text area in the Parameters section with the JSON skeleton.

The Infor ION Grid REST API requires authentication and some of the REST methods require authentication with the grid-admin and/or app-admin role. Authentication may be performed using username/password or certificates. For information about how to generate a client certificate, see the Infor ION Grid Security Administration Guide.
