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.
