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.

Authentication - Use Basic Authentication for this API.

Base URL for Endpoint REST API

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/endpoint

Each function returns a JSON endpoint object. The endpoint object has these attributes:

GET

There are two implementations of GET. One will find an Endpoint with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the Endpoint. The other will find a list of Endpoints matching the parameters supplied to it.

GET by ID

This GET service will find an Endpoint with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the object.

API URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/endpoint/{Id}

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Id	Yes	URL	This is a URL parameter for the Id which is used to find and return an Endpoint

Response

Unable to render {include} The included page could not be found.

Response Codes

HTTP Code	Description
200	Endpoint was found and returned
400	Bad request
401	Unauthorized
500	Unexpected internal server error

Example

If we had an endpoint in our database with an Id of 13901 and had the following attributes

Endpoint 13910

{

"password": "Password",
"description": "description",
"userName": "userName",
"privateKey": "privateKey",
"isActive": true,
"baseDirectory": "ServerInstallRoot + '/localhost'",
"endpointName": "GOODPOST1",
"connectionType": "SSH",
"endpointAddress": "NotNeeded00",
"endpointId": 13910,
"endpointSubgroup": "subGroupTester",
"endpointPort": "1",
"endpointGroup": "endpointGroup",
"runAsUserName": "TestInput",
"osType": "UNIX",
"javaPath": "ServerJavaHome",
"passphrase": "Passphrase"

}

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

Endpoint GET Return JSON

{

"password": "*****",
"description": "description",
"userName": "userName",
"privateKey": "privateKey",
"isActive": true,
"baseDirectory": "ServerInstallRoot + '/localhost'",
"endpointName": "GOODPOST1",
"connectionType": "SSH",
"endpointAddress": "NotNeeded00",
"endpointId": 13910,
"endpointSubgroup": "subGroupTester",
"endpointPort": "1",
"endpointGroup": "endpointGroup",
"runAsUserName": "TestInput",
"osType": "UNIX",
"javaPath": "ServerJavaHome",
"passphrase": "*****"

}

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.

API URL

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

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

Use '&' between successive query parameters:

endpointName={name}

endpointAddress={address}

endpointGroup={group}

endpointSubgroup={subgroup}

Examples:

To Specify the name parameter only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/endpoint?endpointName={name}

To Specify the name and group parameters:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/endpoint?endpointName={name}&endpointGroup={group}

To Specify the name, address and group parameters:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/endpoint?endpointName={name}&endpointAddress={address}&endpointGroup={group}

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

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
endpointName	No	URL	This is a URL query parameter for the name which is used to search the endpoints.
endpointAddress	No	URL	This is a URL query parameter for the address which is used to search the endpoints.
endpointGroup	No	URL	This is a URL query parameter for the group which is used to search the endpoints.
endpointSubgroup	No	URL	This is a URL query parameter for the sub group which is used to search the endpoints.

Response Codes

HTTP Code	Description
200	Endpoint was found and returned
400	Bad request
401	Unauthorized
500	Unexpected internal server error
