Overview of the Tiered Storage REST API

Tiered storage is supported by the XQuery, JavaScript, and REST APIs. All of the operations you will want to integrate into your storage-management scripts to automate repetitive storage management operations are available through the REST API. However, some of the initial, one-time, setup operations, such as those related to setting the range policy and partition key on the database, are only supported by the Admin Interface and the XQuery API.
