6. Redfish Service Root

To get the Redfish service root, perform a GET operation on the Redfish service root URI. Authentication is not needed because this resource is not protected.

curl -k 'https://<REDFISH-HOST>/redfish/v1/' | python -m json.tool

The following example shows a sample Redfish service root:

{
    "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/",
    "@odata.type": "#ServiceRoot.v1_16_1.ServiceRoot",
    "AccountService": {
        "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/AccountService"
    },
    "Id": "RootService",
    "Links": {
        "Sessions": {
            "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/SessionService/Sessions"
        }
    },
    "Managers": {
        "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Managers"
    },
    "Name": "Root Service",
    "RedfishVersion": "1.15.0",
    "SessionService": {
        "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/SessionService"
    },
    "Systems": {
        "@odata.id": "/redfish/v1/Systems"
    },
    "UUID": "92384634-2938-2342-8820-489239905423"
}

The service root includes hyperlinks to the top-level resource collections and services supported by the implementation. For example, the AccountService property contains a hyperlink to the account service, shown by the value /redfish/v1/AccountService for its @odata.id property.

The following table lists the top-level resource collections and services that are commonly found in Redfish services.

This table is not exhaustive for every possible property in the service root.

Property	Description
Systems	Collection of systems managed by the service.
