About the REST API Guide

Appliance administrators now have the ability to use a representational state transfer application programming interface—REST-ful API—to configure and query the Luna Network HSM, in addition to the long-standing Luna shell (LunaSH).

REST API provides a lightweight architecture that allows communication between HSM appliances and your own web applications.
