Folders can be accessed through this API using the GET service.

GET

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

GET (Using Id)

This GET service will find a Folder by Id and return a JSON representation of it.

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/folder/{id}

Request

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
id	Yes	URL	This is a URL path parameter for the id which is used to find a folder.

Response Codes

HTTP Code	Description
200	Folder found and returned
400	Bad request
401	Authentication failure
403	Authorization failure (no access to resource)
404	Folder not found
500	Unexpected internal server error

Example

If we had a Folder in our database with the name '' with the following attributes:

{
   "folderId": 12709,
   "parentFolderId": 99,
   "folderName": "Folder1",
   "isActive": true,
   "subFolders": [
		12343,
		15467,
		90234
	],
   "applications": [],
   "description": "This is a folder"
}

When we run a GET request at the following URL:

http://{host:port}/flexdeploy/rest/v1/folder/12709

The GET request would return the following JSON Folder object

{
   "folderId": 12709,
   "parentFolderId": 99,
   "folderName": "Folder1",
   "isActive": true,
   "subFolders": [
		12343,
		15467,
		90234
	],
   "applications": [],
   "description": "This is a folder"
}

Get(Using Query Parameters)

This GET service will find a folder by querying based on a folder name and return the JSON representations of the objects satisfying the query. If no query parameters are given this request will return the entire list of folders.

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/folder?

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

Use '&' between successive query parameters:

folderName={name}

Examples:

To search by name only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/folder?folderName={name}

To search for all Folders:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/folder

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