Endpoints can be accessed and modified through this API using four services: GET, POST, PUT, and PATCH. These four services allow for the retrieval, creation, complete update, and partial update of endpoints.

If we had an endpoint in our database with an Id of 13901 and had the following attributes

Code Block

theme	Eclipse
title	Endpoint 13910

{
    "password": "Password",
    "passwordCredentialId": 12345,
    "description": "description",
    "userName": "userName",
    "privateKey": "privateKey",
    "isActive": true,
    "baseDirectory": "ServerInstallRoot + '/localhost'",
    "endpointName": "GOODPOST1",

    "osType": "UNIX",
    "javaPath": "ServerJavaHome",
    "passphrase": "Passphrase",
    "passphraseCredentialId": 54321
}

When we run a GET request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/endpoint/13901

The GET request would return the following JSON endpoint object

    "javaPath": "ServerJavaHome",
    "passphrase": "*****",
    "passphraseCredentialId": 54321
}

GET (Using Query Parameters)

This GET service will return a list of Endpoints in the form of JSON objects based on the query parameters name, address, group and subgroup. Endpoints are only returned if they match ALL of the specified query parameters. If no query parameters are given this request will return the entire list of Endpoints.

Info

title	API URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/endpoint?

Append the following character sequences to the above URL to specify Query parameters.

Use '&' between successive query parameters:

endpointName={name}

endpointAddress={address}

endpointGroup={group}

endpointSubgroup={subgroup}

Examples:

To Specify the name parameter only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/endpoint?endpointName={name}

To Specify the name and group parameters:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/endpoint?endpointName={name}&endpointGroup={group}

To Specify the name, address and group parameters:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/endpoint?endpointName={name}&endpointAddress={address}&endpointGroup={group}

Example

If we had an endpoint in our database with an Id of 13909 and had the following attributes

When we run a PATCH request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/endpoint/13909

And the PATCH request receives the following JSON environment object,
