title	GET by ID Example

Example

If we had an Instance in our database with an Id of 11004 with the following attributes

Code Block

theme	Eclipse
title	Instance - 11004

{
	"description": "GET example description",
	"environments": [11001],
	"workflows": [],
	"instanceId": 11004,
	"instanceName": "GET Example Name",
	"isActive": true, "plugins": [],
	"instanceCode": "GETEXAMPLECODE",
	"groupCode": "GET example group",
	"subGroupCode": "GET example sub group",
	"isDeploymentTarget": false
}

When we run a GET request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/instance/11004

The GET request would return the following JSON Instance object

Code Block

theme	Eclipse
title	Instance GET Return JSON

{
	"description": "GET example description",
	"environments": [11001],
	"workflows": [],
	"instanceId": 11004,
	"instanceName": "GET Example Name",
	"isActive": true, "plugins": [],
	"instanceCode": "GETEXAMPLECODE",
	"groupCode": "GET example group",
	"subGroupCode": "GET example sub group",
	"isDeploymentTarget": false
}

GET by Query Parameters

This GET service will return a list of Instances in the form of JSON objects based on the query parameters code, name, group code, and sub group code. Instances 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 Instances.

Info

title	API URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/instance?

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

Use '&' between successive query parameters:

code={code}

name={name}

groupcode={groupcode}

subgroupcode={subgroupcode}

Examples:

To Specify the code parameter only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/instance?code={code}

To Specify the code and group code parameters:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/instance?code={code}&groupcode={groupcode}

To Specify the name, group code, and sub group code parameters:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/instance?name={name}&groupcode={groupcode}&subgroupcode={subgroupcode}

...

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

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Code	No	URL	This is a URL query parameter for the code which is used to search the instances.
Name	No	URL	This is a URL query parameter for the name which is used to search the instances.
Group Code	No	URL	This is a URL query parameter for the group code which is used to search the instances.
Sub Group Code	No	URL	This is a URL query parameter for the sub group code which is used to search the instances.

Example Output

Output when the Group Code was made "Group" through http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/topology/instance?groupcode=Group

POST

The POST service will create a new instance with the same attributes as the given JSON object. It returns the JSON representation of the Instance that was just created with an updated ID attribute.
