Which RESTful API method is used to retrieve an existing XtremIO configuration?

The RESTful API method used to retrieve an existing configuration from a system like XtremIO is the

HTTP GET methD. The GET method is used to request data from a specified resource and is one of the

most common HTTP methods used in RESTful APIs1.

In the context of the XtremIO REST API, the GET method would be used to access various types of

information about the array’s configuration. For example, to retrieve details about the volumes

configured on an XtremIO array, you would issue a GET request to the appropriate endpoint of the

XtremIO REST API2.

The HTTP POST method, on the other hand, is typically used to send data to the server to create or

update a resource. The terms HTTP RETRIEVE and HTTP GATHER are not standard RESTful API

methods and are not used in the context of the XtremIO REST API or any RESTful API1.
