List Engines API

Overview

The List Engines API lets you programmatically retrieve the connection status and details of all the Engines linked to the Portal.

The client of the List Engines API must trust the certificate in the primary Appliance (the Portal).

To authenticate the client, the List Engines API uses Basic Authentication. Nexthink recommends creating a local account to exclusively authenticate clients of the API.

Querying the API

To query the List Engines API, send the following GET request without parameters to the Portal:

https://<Portal_DNS_FQDN>/api/configuration/v1/engines

Output of the List Engines API

The data that you can retrieve from the List Engines API is similar to what you get from the Engines dashboard when you connect the Portal to the Engines.

The output holds the list of Engines in JSON format. For each Engine, find:
