You can interact with and control BMC Helix CMDB from a remote computer by using a script or program that uses REST API. 

By using the REST APIs, you can perform most tasks that you can currently perform through CMDB Portal or command-line utilities. For more information, see Endpoints in the REST API. Additionally, the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) API continue to be supported. 

The REST API follows the REST architectural style and uses resources, HTTP verbs, and status codes. JSON is used for request and response bodies. REST API follows the token based authentication that is supported by AR System. The REST API provides certain endpoints that are aligned with the Swagger specification language.
