Overview of the Tiered Storage REST API
Tiered storage is supported by the XQuery, JavaScript, and REST APIs. All of the operations you will want to integrate into your storage-management scripts to automate repetitive storage management operations are available through the REST API. However, some of the initial, one-time, setup operations, such as those related to setting the range policy and partition key on the database, are only supported by the Admin Interface and the XQuery API.
Note
The Tiered Storage REST API supports both JSON and XML formats. The XML format is used for all of the examples in this section.
