Welcome to Using the HCP OpenStack Swift API

Using the HCP OpenStack Swift API is your guide to using the Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) HSwift API. It provides the information you need to set up and use the HSwift API. There may be instances where you want to reference other material.

Note: Throughout this Help system, the word Unix is used to represent all UNIX®-like operating systems (such as UNIX itself or Linux®), except where Linux is specifically required.

Intended audience

This Help is intended for people want to learn how to use the HSwift API to store and manage containers and objects. The Help addresses two audiences:

People who are writing applications against HCP. These people are assumed to have programming experience.

People who are accessing HCP through a third-party, compatible tool (such as curl). These people are assumed to have experience using the applicable tool.

In either case, the Help assumes you have a basic knowledge of HTTP, as specified by RFC 2616. The book also assumes that you are familiar with the OpenStack Swift API and Keystone.

This Help does not assume any prior knowledge of HCP concepts or functionality.
