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

title	Endpoint 13910

{
    "endpointId": 13910,
    "endpointName": "GOODPOST1",
    "description": "description",
    "isActive": true,
    "connectionType": "SSH",
    "osType": "UNIX",

    "privateKey": "privateKey",
    "runAsUserName": "TestInput",
    "endpointGroup": "endpointGroup",
    "endpointSubgroup": "subGroupTester"

}

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

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.
