description: Cohesity is a data security and management company providing backup, disaster recovery, archive, and cyber resilience
  capabilities across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS workloads. Following the merger with Veritas, the combined company protects
  enterprise data while powering automation, orchestration, and AI- driven recovery. The Cohesity developer surface centers
  on the Cohesity REST API, exposed both per-cluster (DataProtect/cluster API) and via the Helios global control plane, with
  versioned v1 and v2 endpoints, API-key authentication, and SDKs for Python, PowerShell, Ansible, Terraform, and ServiceNow.

  description: Helios is Cohesity's SaaS-based control plane that manages a fleet of Cohesity clusters from a single global
    pane of glass. The Helios REST API authenticates via an apiKey generated from the Helios UI and passed in the request
    header, supports both v1 and v2 endpoint families, and lets customers list and operate registered clusters, run protection
    jobs, manage policies, and access reporting and analytics globally.
  x-features:
  - apiKey-based authentication via Helios UI
  - v1 and v2 API surfaces under /irisservices/api/
  - Manage protection groups, policies, and recovery operations
  - Reporting and global analytics across clusters
  - Multi-cluster operations from a single endpoint
  x-use-cases:
  - Centralize backup and recovery automation across many Cohesity clusters
  - Drive policy and SLA enforcement from CI/CD pipelines
  - Trigger or schedule recoveries from external orchestration tools
  - Export reporting data into SIEM or BI dashboards

  description: The DataProtect REST API is the per-cluster RESTful interface exposed by every Cohesity cluster, providing
    programmatic control over data management operations including backups, restores, replication, archival, cloud tiering,
    and storage domain management. Authentication is performed via API keys for automation users or username/password for
    interactive sessions.
  x-features:
  - Per-cluster REST endpoint
  - API key and session authentication
  - Backup, restore, replication, and archive operations
  - Storage domain and view management
  - Versioned API generations available concurrently
  x-use-cases:
  - Automate cluster registration and configuration
  - Trigger ad-hoc backups and recoveries from runbooks
  - Integrate with vRealize, ServiceNow, Ansible, and Terraform workflows
  - Build custom dashboards over per-cluster operational data
  baseURL: https://{cluster-vip}/irisservices/api/v1/public
  x-baseurl-note: Templated per cluster. The published v1 specification declares host "<CLUSTER_VIP>" with basePath /irisservices/api/v1
    — the DataProtect API is served by every Cohesity cluster at its own VIP, so no single production host exists. The same
    surface is reachable centrally through Helios at https://helios.cohesity.com/irisservices/api/v1/public.

  description: The Helios Reporting service exposes Cohesity's cross-cluster reporting layer as a standalone REST API with
    20 operations. It publishes a catalog of report types and their components, renders on-demand previews without persisting
    anything, and manages recurring schedules whose exports are collected as downloadable task artifacts. Authentication is
    the same apiKey header used across the Cohesity surface.
  x-features:
  - Report catalog and report-type definitions
  - On-demand report and component previews
  - Recurring schedules with on-demand runs
  - Asynchronous export with task artifacts
  - apiKey header authentication
  x-use-cases:
  - Feed backup and compliance reporting into BI or SIEM tooling
  - Answer a one-off posture question with a preview call that creates nothing
  - Automate recurring executive and audit reporting

  description: Site Continuity is Cohesity's disaster-recovery orchestration service, exposed as a 25-operation REST API on
    the Helios control plane. It models sites, applications and DR plans, runs health checks that validate a plan without
    executing it, and performs and tracks failover and failback actions. It is the one Cohesity surface that publishes an
    enumerated error-code vocabulary (kNoError, kValidationError, kInternalError).
  x-features:
  - Sites, applications and versioned app snapshots
  - DR plan lifecycle and plan actions
  - Non-destructive DR plan health checks
  - Enumerated SCErrorCode error vocabulary
  - apiKey header authentication
  x-use-cases:
  - Orchestrate and rehearse failover from external runbooks
  - Validate DR readiness on a schedule without triggering a failover
  - Report DR plan state into a resilience dashboard
