Red Hat SummitChapter 3. Use conventions in the API
Automation controller uses a standard REST API, rooted at /api/ on the server.
The API is versioned for compatibility reasons. You can see what API versions are available by querying /api/.
You might have to specify the content or type on POST or PUT requests:
-
PUT: Update a specific resource (by an identifier) or a collection of resources. You can also usePUTto create a specific resource if you know the resource identifier before-hand. -
POST: Create a new resource. Also acts as a catch-all verb for operations that do not fit into the other categories.
All URIs not ending with "/" receive a 301 redirect.
Note
The formatting of extra_vars attached to Job Template records is preserved. YAML is returned as YAML with formatting and comments preserved, and JSON is returned as JSON.
