= The Cisco Meeting Server uses a RESTful API to interact with the server. The API commands are sent via HTTP requests to the web admin service, which processes them and returns the response. The four basic API commands are GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. Each command has a different function and syntax, as explained below12:
* GET: Retrieves existing information from the server. The syntax is GET /api/v1/<object>
/<id> where <object> is the type of object to retrieve, such as call, participant, space, etc., and <id> is the unique identifier of the object, such as a UUID or a name. For example, GET /api/v1/calls
/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012 will return the information about the call with the specified UUID.
* POST: Creates new information on the server. The syntax is POST /api/v1/<object> where <object> is the type of object to create, such as call, participant, space, etc. The request body contains the attributes and values of the object to create, in JSON format. For example, POST /api/v1/spaces with the request body {"name": "Test Space", "uri": "
[email protected]"} will create a new space with the specified name and URI.
* PUT: Modifies existing information on the server. The syntax is PUT /api/v1/<object>
/<id> where <object> is the type of object to modify, such as call, participant, space, etc., and <id> is the unique identifier of the object, such as a UUID or a name. The request body contains the attributes and values of the object to modify, in JSON format. For example, PUT /api/v1/spaces/12345678-1234-
1234-1234-123456789012 with the request body {"name": "New Name"} will change the name of the space with the specified UUID to "New Name".
* DELETE: Deletes existing information from the server. The syntax is DELETE /api/v1/<object>
/<id> where <object> is the type of object to delete, such as call, participant, space, etc., and <id> is the unique identifier of the object, such as a UUID or a name. For example, DELETE /api/v1/spaces
/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012 will delete the space with the specified UUID.
In this question, the API command that is used to modify a configuration setting on the Cisco Meeting Server is PUT, as it allows changing the attributes and values of an existing object on the server.
