Project Properties can be accessed and modified through this API using three services: GET,PUT, and PATCH. These three services allow for the retrieval, complete update, and partial update of Project Properties.

Authentication - Use Basic Authentication for this API.

GET

There is one implementation which will find a list of Project Properties associated with the URL specified Project and return the JSON representation of the list of Project Properties.

GET by ID

This GET service will find list of Project Properties associated with the given Project and return the JSON representation of the list. 

API URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/project/{projectid}/property

Request

Parameter
Type
Required
Description

projectid

URLYesThis is a URL parameter for the Project Id which is searched to find and return the Properties associated with it.

Response

AttributesTypeDescription
propertyNameStringThis is the name of the definition of a Project Property
propertyValueStringThe value associated with the property name
credentialIdLongThe id of the credential associated to this property. Applicable only for encrypted properties
isExpressionBooleanIf the property is an expression, this will return as true, otherwise false.
overrideDetailsOverrideDetailsPojoIf the property is overridden, this will show its details. If not, it's null.

OverrideDetailsPojo

AttributesTypeDescription
environmentIdLongEnvironment Id where this is overridden. If the value is null, it means overridden for all.
instanceIdLongInstance Id where this is overridden. If the value is null, it means overridden for all.

Response Codes

HTTP Code
Description
200Project was found and its properties returned
400Bad request
401Authentication failure
403Authorization failure (no access to resource)
404Project was not found with the specified project id
500Unexpected internal server error

Example

If we had a Project in our database with an Id of 11101 and we run a GET request at the following URL: http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/project/11101

The GET request would return the following JSON Project Property list

Project 11101 Properties GET Return JSON

When we run a PUT request at the following URL: http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/project/25262

And the PUT request receives the following JSON Project Properties list

The PUT request would then update the Project Properties of the Project with Id 25262 and return the following JSON Project Properties list.
