Examples

Example of Accessing the API with cURL

The following example shows how to start, stop or restart HDR collection by submitting a PUT request on the REST resource using cURL. For more information about cURL, see Use cURL.

curl -X PUT \
    --header "Accept: application/xml" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    "https://10.0.0.2/rest/v1.1/statistics/collections?action=start&collectionObject=fan"

Example of Accessing the API with Python

The following example shows how to start, stop or restart HDR collection by submitting a PUT request on the REST resource using Python. This example assumes you have a valid token stored in the token variable. For an example of authenticating with Python, see Authenticate.

import requests
headers = { "Accept":"application/xml", "Authorization":"Bearer " + token }
url  = "https://10.0.0.2/rest/v1.1/statistics/collections?action=start&collectionObject=fan"
resp = requests.put(url, headers=headers)
