Evaluation with Swagger UI

To start working with the Veeam Backup & Replication REST API, you can use any client application that supports the HTTPS protocol.

The Veeam Backup & Replication REST API is additionally available through the Swagger UI, a tool that you can use to evaluate and explore capabilities of the REST API. The Swagger UI visually presents API specification files and allows you to work with resources.

All resources and methods are expandable. When you expand a method, you get a full description of available parameters and an automatically generated example. You can also send requests and see response messages.
