说明
How to Obtain and Deploy REST APIs for Netvault. -
原因
The NetVault API provides a web-service based interface to configure and administer NetVault. The NetVault API is built on the Representational State Transfer (REST) architecture, which is the most widely used style for building APIs. The NetVault API uses the HTTP protocol to communicate with NetVault. The NetVault API is therefore easy to use in cloud-based applications, as well as across multiple platforms and programming languages.
The NetVault API uses JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) as the message format for request and response messages.

解决办法
NetVault offers REST APIs managed Swagger, an open-source suite of API developer tools To obtain the REST API files (Refer the attachment )To deploy the REST APIs, on a Windows server or a Linux server, complete one of the following procedures.NOTE: When deploying on Windows, run the command line as Administrator. When deploying on Linux,execute the commands as root.To deploy REST APIs on Windows:
1 On the NetVault Server, download and unzip the REST API files.2 On the NetVault Server, download and install Node.js from https://nodejs.org/en/.3 If not already installed, download and install NPM from https://npmjs.com/get-npm.4 If not already installed, download and install Visual Studio Community including "Desktop development with C++" workload. More info https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows5 Update config.js (for URL, DB_LOCATION, SERVER_PUBLIC_IP, CLI_PATH) present in the API folder.6 In the root directory of the drive where you installed Node.js, create a folder named “db” (for example,C:\db).7 On the command line as Administrator, change to the path that contains the unzipped API files and run the following command:npm install8 Start the node server and run the following command:npm run dev9 After the server starts, to start using the APIs and view API documentation, open the following SwaggerTo deploy REST APIs on Linux:
1 On the NetVault Server, download and unzip the REST API files.2 On the NetVault Server, download and install Node.js from https://nodejs.org/en/download/ or from theterminal.3 If not already installed, download and install NPM according to your Linux distribution.4 Install Nodemon by running the following command as a superuser on the terminal:npm install -g nodemon5 Update config.js (for URL, DB_LOCATION, SERVER_PUBLIC_IP, CLI_PATH) present in the API folder.6 In the root directory of the drive where Node.js is installed, create a folder named “db” (for example,/usr/db).7 On the terminal, change to the path containing the unzipped API files and run the following command:npm install8 Run the following command:export PATH=/usr/netvault/util:$PATH9 Start the node server and run the following command:npm run dev10 After the server starts, open one of the following Swagger links to start using the APIs and view APIdocumentation:Getting Started Video for Netvault APIs
