Description

The python-ilorest-library is a python library built for interacting with the Redfish API remotely to any BMC that implements a Redfish API or any HPE system locally. The library also supports HPE's legacy REST API. Go to the library documentation for more details.

HPE RESTful API for iLO is a RESTful application programming interface for the management of iLO and iLO Chassis Manager based HPE servers. REST (Representational State Transfer) is a web based software architectural style consisting of a set of constraints that focuses on a system's resources. iLO REST library performs the basic HTTP operations GET, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE on resources using the HATEOAS (Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State) REST architecture. The API allows the clients to manage and interact with iLO through a fixed URL and several URIs. Go to the API documentation for more details.
