Resource Representations for Resource Collections

In this article

    For collections of key resources, Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager RESTful API provides the same two types of representations as for specific entities of key resources:

    • Entity reference resource representation
    • Entity resource representation

    For example, a reference representation for a collection of cloud tenant accounts looks similar to the following:

    <EntityReferences xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0">
     <Ref Type="CloudTenantReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/cloud/tenants/6faeea03-a787-4b2d-a0e5-3fe215d50c53" Name="Applied Systems Company" UID="urn:veeam:CloudTenant:6faeea03-a787-4b2d-a0e5-3fe215d50c53">
       <Links>
         <Link Rel="Up" Type="BackupServerReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/8fff3b8e-c3f1-4ef5-aecc-561f07bf9982" Name="172.17.53.48" />
         <Link Rel="Alternate" Type="CloudTenant" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/cloud/tenants/6faeea03-a787-4b2d-a0e5-3fe215d50c53?format=Entity" Name="Applied Systems Company" />
       </Links>
     </Ref>
     <Ref Type="CloudTenantReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/cloud/tenants/b25f5f1d-a3c3-45ed-af23-9ef31a94dac7" Name="ABC Company" UID="urn:veeam:CloudTenant:b25f5f1d-a3c3-45ed-af23-9ef31a94dac7">
       <Links>
         <Link Rel="Up" Type="BackupServerReference" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/backupServers/8fff3b8e-c3f1-4ef5-aecc-561f07bf9982" Name="172.17.53.48" />
         <Link Rel="Alternate" Type="CloudTenant" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/cloud/tenants/b25f5f1d-a3c3-45ed-af23-9ef31a94dac7?format=Entity" Name="ABC Company" />
       </Links>
     </Ref>
    </EntityReferences>

    To get an entity representation of the resource collection, the client should send the GET HTTP request to the URL of the resource entity, for example:

    GET  http://localhost:9399/api/cloud/tenants?format=Entity

    In response the server returns an entity representation providing complete information about all resources in the collection:

    <CloudTenants xmlns="http://www.veeam.com/ent/v1.0">
     <CloudTenant Type="CloudTenant" Href="http://localhost:9399/api/cloud/tenants/6faeea03-a787-4b2d-a0e5-3fe215d50c53?format=Entity" Name="Applied Systems Company" UID="urn:veeam:CloudTenant:6faeea03-a787-4b2d-a0e5-3fe215d50c53">
