Python iLO Redfish Library
==========================

The iLO Redfish Library is a python library built for interacting with systems that implement the **Redfish API**, which includes the HPE iLO RESTful API.
The library is the platform on which the `RESTful Interface tool <https://github.com/HewlettPackard/python-redfish-utility>`_ was built on.

The library can connect **remotely** to any BMC that implements a Redfish API via HTTPS or **locally** to an HPE server using the HPE CHIF interface and implements Redfish or Legacy Rest APIs.
On top of this functionality, the library also offers remote and local support for the Legacy HPE iLO RESTful API that was the starting point for the DMTF Redfish standard.

For more information on the HPE iLO RESTful API and Redfish see the `API overview <API-Overview.html>`_.

.. note::  HPE's Legacy Rest API is available starting in **iLO 4 2.00**. iLO 4 is Redfish conformant starting with **iLO 4 2.30**. In iLO 5 and above the iLO RESTful API is Redfish only.
