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 | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
{
"password": "Password",
"description": "description",
"userName": "userName",
"privateKey": "privateKey",
"isActive": true,
"baseDirectory": "ServerInstallRoot + '/localhost'",
"endpointName": "GOODPOST1",
"connectionType": "SSH",
"endpointAddress": "NotNeeded00",
"endpointId": 13910,
"endpointSubgroup": "subGroupTester",
"endpointPort": "1",
"endpointGroup": "endpointGroup",
"runAsUserName": "TestInput",
"osType": "UNIX",
"javaPath": "ServerJavaHome",
"passphrase": "Passphrase"
} |
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
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
{
"password": "*****",
"description": "description",
"userName": "userName",
"privateKey": "privateKey",
"isActive": true,
"baseDirectory": "ServerInstallRoot + '/localhost'",
"endpointName": "GOODPOST1",
"connectionType": "SSH",
"endpointAddress": "NotNeeded00",
"endpointId": 13910,
"endpointSubgroup": "subGroupTester",
"endpointPort": "1",
"endpointGroup": "endpointGroup",
"runAsUserName": "TestInput",
"osType": "UNIX",
"javaPath": "ServerJavaHome",
"passphrase": "*****"
} |
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.

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} |
...
| Tip |
|---|
The query parameters are not case sensitive. Searching by name=NAME is the same as searching by name=name. |

Example
If we had an endpoints in our database with a Ids of 14517, and 14518 and the following attributes
| Code Block | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
{
"description": null,
"password": null,

"privateKey": null,
"baseDirectory": "ServerInstallRoot + '/localhost'",
"osType": null,
"javaPath": "ServerJavaHome",
"endpointName": "Motel6",
"endpointAddress": "localhost",
"endpointId": 14517,
"passphrase": null,
"connectionType": "LOCALHOST",
"endpointPort": null,
"endpointGroup": "Germany",

} |
When we run a GET request at the following URL
http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/endpoint?endpointGroup=Germany
The GET request would return the following JSON environment object
