title: Nutanix Prism Central API v3 Alerts Hosts API
description: RESTful API for managing Nutanix clusters, VMs, storage, networking, and other infrastructure components through Prism Central. The v3 API uses an intent-based model where resources are defined by their desired state, and the system works to achieve that state. All list operations use POST with server-side filtering, grouping, and sorting. Authentication is via HTTP Basic Auth with Prism Central credentials.
