Web Service Call Basics

Sentinel LDK-EMS uses the REST principle for web services. You can construct request URLs that will work in your browser, on the command line, and in your code.

Creating a REST Request

The web services operate on the resource types Feature, Product, License Models, Entitlement, Customer, and Contact. The starting point for all web service calls is a URI, which identifies the Sentinel LDK-EMS Server.

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

http(s)://<Hostname>:<port>/ems/v90/ws/

>v90—Version of Sentinel LDK-EMS web services.
