5.13.1 Using Workload Protection Features through the PlateSpin Protect Web Services API

You can use workload protection functionality programmatically, through the protection.webservices API from within your applications. You can use any programming or scripting language that supports Web services.

https://<hostname | IP_address>/protection.webservices

Replace <hostname | IP_address> with the hostname or the IP address of your PlateSpin Server host. If SSL is not enabled, use http in the URI.
