Retrieving basic system information

Use the following request components to access basic system information before logging into the REST API:


Header:	Accept: application/json
Operation:	GET

If the request succeeds, it returns a 200 OK HTTP status code and basic system information in the response body. If it does not succeed, it returns a 4nn or 5nn HTTP status code and a message entity.

The following table describes the information returned in response to a successful request to the basicSystemInfo resource type:
