**Provider:** Pure Storage — https://apis.io/providers/pure-storage/  
**Documentation:** https://code.purestorage.com/swagger

Pure Storage Hosts API is one of 130 APIs that [Pure Storage](https://apis.io/providers/pure-storage/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. This API exposes 12 JSON Schema definitions. Tagged areas include Hosts. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, an API reference, API documentation, code examples, a JSON-LD context, and 12 JSON Schemas.

Hosts organize the storage network addresses (iSCSI Qualified Names, NVMe qualified names, or Fibre Channel world wide names) of client computers to identify the host's intiators. Hosts also control communications between clients and volumes. After a volume has been created, establish a host-volume connection so that the host can read data from and write data to the volume.
