The basic syntax for connecting to the SiteScope REST API is.

http://<SiteScope hostname or IP address>:<port>/SiteScope/<endpoint>

For example, let's say your SiteScope system has DNS name sitescope.example.com and is listening for HTTP connections on port 8080. The following URL would then be used.

http://sitescope.example.com:8080/SiteScope/api/templates/export

In this example, a GET request would be used. Connections to SiteScope require some form of authentication, such as basic auth (username / password) or via client certification authentication using a public certificate.

As a practical example, here is how you could submit the GET request using curl on Linux.

curl --request GET --user john.doe:itsasecret --url http://sitescope.example.com:8080/SiteScope/api/templates/export

Which should return JSON like this.

{
    "1221424182": {
        "AllowedCIs": "",
        "ConfigurationID": "1221424182",
        "Name": "Solaris Host",
        "OS_TYPE": "",
        "alertBlueprintChildren": {},
        "estimatedNumberOfPoints": "0",
        "groupBlueprintChildrenField": {},
        "monitorBlueprintChildren": {},
        "remoteMachinePlaceHolderChildren": {},
        "templateContainerNames": [
            "Solution Templates"
        ],
        "templateDescription": null,
        "templateType": "userDefinedTemplateType",
        "variableBlueprintChildren": {}
    }
}

The API is not limited to curl on Linux. For example, here is how you could submit the GET request using Python.

#!/usr/bin/python
import json, requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

try:
  response = requests.get("http://sitescope.example.com:8080/SiteScope/api/templates/export", auth = HTTPBasicAuth('john.doe','itsasecret'))
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
  print("Got the following exception:")
  print(e)
else:
  print(response.json())

And here is how you could submit the GET request using Ansible.
