Example

If we had a test instance in our database with an Id of 11101 and had the following attributes

Code Block

{
   "isActive": true,

   "instanceCode": "TESTINST1",
   "instanceId": 11101,

}
}

When we run a GET request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/integrations/testinstance/11101

The GET request would return the following JSON test instance object

GET (Using Query Parameters)

...

Info

title	API URLs

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/integrations/testinstance?

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

Use '&' between successive query parameters:

instanceCode={code}

instanceName={name}

testingTool={tool}

Examples:

To search by code only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/integrations/testinstance?instanceCode={code}

To search by name only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/integrations/testinstance?instanceName={name}

To search by tool and name:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/testinstance?testingTool={tool}&instanceName={name}

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