GET

There are two implementations of GET. One will find an Instance a Target Group with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the InstanceTarget Group. The other will find a list of Instances Target Groups matching the parameters supplied to it.

GET by ID

This GET service will find an Instance a Target Group with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the object.

Example

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

Code Block
themeEclipse
titleInstance Target Group - 11004
{
	"description": "GET example description",
	"environments": [11001],
	"workflows": [],
	"instanceId": 11004,
	"instanceName": "GET Example Name",
	"isActive": true, "pluginOperations": [],
	"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/v1/topology/instance/11004

The GET request would return the following JSON Instance object

Code Block
themeEclipse
titleInstance Target Group GET Return JSON
{
	"description": "GET example description",
	"environments": [11001],
	"workflows": [],
	"instanceId": 11004,
	"instanceName": "GET Example Name",
	"isActive": true, "pluginOperations": [],
	"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 Target Groups in the form of JSON objects based on the query parameters instanceCode, instanceName, groupCode, and subGroupCode. Instances Target Groups 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. The instanceName parameter returns instances Target Groups that contain the specified parameter. The other parameters must be equal to the instanceTarget Group.

Info
titleAPI URL

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

Append the following character sequences to the above URL to specify Query parameters.
Use '&' between successive query parameters: 

instanceCode={instanceCode}

instanceName={instanceName}

groupCode={groupCode}

subGroupCode={subGroupCode}

Examples:
To Specify the code parameter only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/instance?instanceCode={instanceCode}

To Specify the code and group code parameters:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/instance?instanceCode={instanceCode}&groupCode={groupCode}

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

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/instance?instanceName={instanceName}&groupCode={groupCode}&subGroupCode={subGroupCode}

...

Tip

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