Release Approval Gate API

This service will approve or reject an Approval Gate for a pipeline stage execution. 

Authentication - Use Basic Authentication for this API.

POST

There are two implementions for POST. One will complete an Approval Gate using a snapshotId query parameter and the other will complete an Approval Gate with no query parameter. The pipeline stage execution from within the pipeline execution is determined by finding the latest execution for the given environmentId and gateName.  An error will be returned if the stage executing in not currently in the gates or if the gateName provided is not pending an approval.

POST (without passing snapshot Id)

This POST service will complete an approval gate with the same attributes as the given JSON object.
