URL Formation and API Version

The starting point for all REST API calls is a URI, which identifies the Sentinel EMS server.

Base URL

All request URLs start with a fixed string which resembles the following. This is called the base URL.

https://<hostname>:<port>/<contextName>/api/v5/

where

><hostname>: The IP address or fully-qualified domain name of the Sentinel EMS server.

><port>: The port to use when establishing a connection with the Sentinel EMS server.

><contextName>: The vendor-specific Sentinel EMS context. For example, ems.

>v5: The version of the Sentinel EMS REST API.

REST API Version

The version information is part of the base URL. The current REST API version is v5.
