External host providers
This page contains information and examples of the external providers API.
The representation of the resource will look like this:
GET /externalhostproviders
<external_host_providers>
<external_host_provider id="{provider:id}">...</external_host_provider>
...
</external_host_providers>
GET /externalhostproviders/{provider:id}
