   "environmentName": "Env 1"
}

When we run a GET request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/environment/11101

The GET request would return the following JSON environment object

GET (Using Query Parameters)

This GET service will return a list of environments in the form of JSON objects based on the query parameters code and name. Environments are only returned if they match all of the specified query parameters. The name query parameter searches if any environment contains the value given in there name while all other query parameters check if any environment has attributes that are equal to the parameter value. If no query parameters are given this request will return the entire list of environments.

Info

title	API URLs

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

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

Use '&' between successive query parameters:

codeenvironmentCode={code}

nameenvironmentName={name}

Examples:

To search by code only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/environment?codeenvironmentCode={code}

To search by name only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/environment?nameenvironmentName={name}

To search by code and name:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/environment?codeenvironmentCode={code}&nameenvironmentName={name}

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