No they aren't, as that would break backwards compatibility for users
that connect to old engines that only support /api. However, the URL of
the entry point of the API is a parameter to the API constructor, so
users can (and should) specify the complete URL:

   Python: api = API(url="https://whatever/ovirt-engine/api";, ...)

Not sure about the Java API, but the Python API actually supports both forms. So it must be attempting to add the path element if not present.

a)
>>> from ovirtsdk.api import API
>>> api = API(url='https://localhost/api',
              username='admin@internal',
              password='sec',
              ca_file='/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem')
>>> ver = api.get_product_info().get_version()
>>> print '%s.%s.%s' % (ver.get_major(), ver.get_minor(), ver.get_revision())
3.3.0

b)
>>> from ovirtsdk.api import API
>>> api = API(url='https://localhost/',
              username='admin@internal',
              password='sec',
              ca_file='/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem')
>>> ver = api.get_product_info().get_version()
>>> print '%s.%s.%s' % (ver.get_major(), ver.get_minor(), ver.get_revision())
3.3.0


   Java: api = new API("https://whatever/ovirt-engine/api";, ...)

Hi guys,

just a quick note on UI plugin vs. REST API integration,
there are currently two ways to work with REST API:

* (standard) /ovirt-engine/api
* (legacy)   /api

Please don't use the legacy URL, since "sessionId" that
is acquired via RestApiSessionAcquired event handler [1]
works only for the standard URL.

(Also, don't forget to include "Prefer:persistent-auth"
header when making calls that shouldn't close the session.)
