Question REST API availability

[Lutuh]

Hey folks,

I just discovered that there is a new, meanwhile basic, RESTful API for Plesk! Yeah! About REST API

Checking https://myhost.name:8443/api/v2/swagger.yml running Plesk Onyx 17.5.3 Update #43, I get a 404. Running some requests against an actual API endpoint returns 404 as well.

I can generate an API key per "plesk bin secret_key -c -ip-address 10.58.108.104", though.

So I just want to ask if the new REST API needs to be enabled in panel.ini or if I'm missing something else here.

No REST API lovers around? Please help out a fellow in need.

Hmm, well can't say I've messed with it but hitting that URL on my 17.8 box actually downloads the file....

I've only used the XML API...

What was it you were looking to accomplish?

Hello @Lutuh
REST API is quite new feature. It was implemented in Plesk Onyx 17.8 and works out of the box.

See documentation for details About REST API

So this REST API, I am currently testing it but it seems pretty limited and not very well documented opposed to the XML api. For instance, when creating a subdomain, we're not able to set the root folder name. It just creates a directory site1/, site2/ et cetera.. Anyone can help there?

Is there any more documentation on which values you can Post?
