GET (Using Query Parameters)

This GET service will find a workflow by querying based on a name, type, group, and/or subgroup and will return the JSON representations of the objects. If no query parameters are given this request will return the entire list of workflows.

API URLs

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

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

Use '&' between successive query parameters:

workflowName={name}

workflowType={type}

group={group}

subgroup={subgroup}

Examples:

To search by name only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/workflows?workflowName={name}

To search by group only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/workflows?group={group}

To search by subgroup and name:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/workflows?subgroup={subgroup}&workflowName={name}

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

Example

If we had a workflow in our database with a name 'JMeter-runTest' and had the following attributes

Workflow - JMeter-runTest

{
"workflowId": 10111,
"workflowName": "JMeter-runTest",
"workflowType": "TEST_DEFINITION",
"description": "JMeter execute test workflow",
"group": "FlexDeploy(read only)",
"subgroup": "Testing",
"activeVersionId": 10862,
"isActive": true
}

When we run a GET request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/workflows?name=JMeter-runTest&type=TEST_Definition

The GET request would return the following JSON workflow object

Workflow GET Return JSON

{
"workflowId": 10111,
"workflowName": "JMeter-runTest",
"workflowType": "TEST_DEFINITION",
"description": "JMeter execute test workflow",
"group": "FlexDeploy(read only)",
"subgroup": "Testing",
"activeVersionId": 10862,
"isActive": true
}
