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.
