A REST API is an architectural style for an application program interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to access and use data. That data can be used to GET, POST, PATCH, and DELETE data types, referring to the reading, updating, creating, changing, and deleting operations concerning resources. 
REST API is a licensed feature. For more details, please contact our Licensing Team.
Base URL: Your current RealityHub address and port (ex: http://localhost) 
Endpoint: Communication channel that you want to do various processes (/api/rest/v1/engines/1/nodes) 
If the Endpoint contains characters that the URL doesn't support, those characters should be URL-Encoded. For more information, please visit: HTML URL Encoding Reference​
GET 
Retrieve a specific resource or a collection of resources and always returns data. GET can be used for:
Engine details (name, status, host id, IP, hostname)
Nodes (All nodes in an active RGraph) 
Node functions (All functions and values of a specific node) 
Node properties (All properties and values that are included in a specific node) 
Rundowns (rundown ID, items, values)
Examples for the GET
