@chennuri gouri shankar

The following link has the details:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/RANGER/REST+APIs+for+Policy+Management

Example:

curl -u $RangerAdmin:$Password -X GET http://$RANGERHOST:6080/service/public/api/policy/

Above will list the policies then you can navigate to the desired policy make changes/post/delete

@Jay SenSharma It's worth pointing out that unless you're using Ranger 0.4 or below, that API is obsolete. You should be using the v2 API linked to by @mvaradkar:

Default Page Size seems to be 200 on most APIs.
Use query parameters pageSize and startIndex to page through the results
