Managing the application through the REST API

Kaspersky Endpoint Security lets you configure application settings, run a scan, update the anti-virus databases, and perform other tasks using third-party solutions. Kaspersky Endpoint Security provides an API for this purpose. The Kaspersky Endpoint Security REST API operates over HTTP and consists of a set of request/response methods. In other words, you can manage Kaspersky Endpoint Security through a third-party solution, and not the local application interface or the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console.

To start working with the REST API, you need to install Kaspersky Endpoint Security with support for the REST API. The REST client and Kaspersky Endpoint Security must be installed on the same computer.

To ensure safe interaction between Kaspersky Endpoint Security and REST client, do the following:

The application is managed through the REST API at http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost. It is not possible to remotely manage Kaspersky Endpoint Security through the REST API.
