Do rest APIs support multiple instances on same host?

I need to fetch some configuration files through REST APIs. In case there are multiple Splunk instances on the same host, can the server specific configuration files still be accessed through REST APIs?

Each Splunk instance will have its own management port (8089 by default). Send your API calls to the port corresponding to the instance from which you want information.
