Welcome! We are pleased to launch the Release Candidate (RC) and Early Access (EA) program for our version 4 (v4) family of Nutanix Prism APIs.
Nutanix APIs have grown over the past decade and now provide support for multiple endpoints, clusters, products, and operations. Our goal with the version 4 REST APIs is to provide a comprehensive and consistent set of APIs for operating the Nutanix Cloud Platform. v4 API has semantics based on open standards, delivering enhanced usability and developer experience.
Today, Nutanix offers four different versions of APIs. We provide diverse API support through these individual versions, and you might require a combination of these versions to address your needs. v4 APIs will consolidate all our APIs into a single platform API. v4 API is being developed with an “API first” mentality where API documentation and supporting SDKs are published concurrently with each product version update.
Our new v4 API family delivers a whole host of new functionality for Nutanix API users. Some of the top new features include:
The first set of Nutanix v4 API and SDK documentation is now live and can be accessed below. If you are an existing user of our v2.0 or v3 APIs you may wish to start with the v4 API Migration Guide.
Note: The code sample library will be expanded as new APIs are released.
The Early Access (“EA”) and Release Candidate (“RC”) v4 API releases represent the next step for cloud consumption, integration, and automation of the Nutanix Cloud Platform. The launch publishes the following APIs in Prism Central.
API Namespace | Namespace Endpoint | Status | Prism Central version | AOS version |
---|---|---|---|---|
AI Ops | aiops | EA | pc.2022.6 or later | 6.5 |
Cluster Management | clustermgmt | RC | pc.2023.3 or later | 6.7 |
Files | files | EA | pc.2022.6 or later | 6.5 |
Identity and Access Management (IAM) | iam | RC | pc.2023.3 or later | 6.7 |
Lifecycle Management (LCM) | lcm | EA | pc.2022.6 or later | 6.5 |
Networking | networking | RC | pc.2023.3 or later | 6.7 |
Prism | prism | EA | pc.2022.6 or later | 6.5 |
Virtual Machine Management | vmm | EA | pc.2022.9 or later | 6.6 |
Storage | storage | EA | pc.2022.6 or later | 6.5 |
Data Protection | dataprotection | EA | pc.2023.3 or later | 6.7 |
Flow Management | microseg | EA | pc.2023.3 or later | 6.7 |
Use of v4 APIs in a Prism Element or Prism Central environment that does not meet the version requirements above may cause the request(s) to fail.
Subsequent releases of Prism Central will expose additional v4 APIs with each version. The following are the APIs in pipeline and will be released soon.
Once all the v4 APIs are released as Generally Available (GA), we plan to gradually decommission the old versions of the Prism APIs. Users will be provided with a phased migration process that will give sufficient time for the API consumers to move from the older and legacy APIs to the new v4 APIs.
All legacy APIs will be deprecated first before being decommissioned. The end of support for older and legacy APIs will be announced as more information becomes available.
