7.2. Collections

A collection is a set of resources of the same type. The API provides both top-level collections and sub-collections. This section examines common features for collections.

7.2.1. Listing All Resources in a Collection
Copia collegamento

A listing of the resources in a collection is obtained by issuing a GET request on the collection URI obtained from the entry point. 
GET /api/[collection] HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml

<collection>
    <resource id="resource_id" href="/api/collection/resource_id">
        <name>Resource-Name</name>
        <description>A description of the resource</description>
        ...
    </resource>
    ...
</collection>

7.2.2. Listing Extended Resource Sub-Collections
Copia collegamento

The API extends collection representations to include sub-collections when the Accept header includes the detail parameter. 
GET /api/collection HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml; detail=subcollection
This includes multiple sub-collection requests using either separated detail parameters: 
GET /api/collection HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml; detail=subcollection1; detail=subcollection2
Or one detail parameter that separates the sub-collection with the + operator: 
GET /api/collection HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml; detail=subcollection1+subcollection2+subcollection3
The API supports extended sub-collections for the following main collections.

Example 7.1. An request for extended statistics in the servers collection

GET /api/hosts HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml; detail=statistics

7.2.3. Searching Collections with Queries
Copia collegamento

A GET request on a "collection/search" link results in a search query of that collection. The API only returns resources within the collection that satisfy the search query constraints. 
GET /api/collection?search={query} HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml
<collection>
    <resource id="resource_id" href="/api/collection/resource_id">
        ...
    </resource>
    ...
</collection>

7.2.3.1. Query Syntax
Copia collegamento

The API uses the URI templates to perform a search query with a GET request: 
GET /api/collection?search={query} HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
The query template value refers to the search query the API directs to the collection. This query uses the same format as Red Hat Storage Console search query language:
(criteria) [sortby (element) asc|desc]
The sortby clause is optional and only needed when ordering results.
Expand
Table 7.4. Example search queries
Collection Criteria Result
volumes type=REPLICATE Displays a list of all replicate volumes
events severity>normal sortby time Displays the list of all events with severity higher than normal and sorted by the time element values.
events severity>normal sortby time desc Displays the list of all events with severity higher than normal and sorted by the time element values in descending order.
The API requires the query template to be URL-encoded to translate reserved characters, such as operators and spaces.

Example 7.2. URL-encoded search query

GET /api/events?search=severity%3Derror HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml

Important

All search queries are case-sensitive.

7.2.3.2. Wildcards
Copia collegamento

Search queries substitute part of a value with an asterisk as a wildcard.

Example 7.3. Wildcard search query for name=server*

GET /api/hosts?search=name%3Dserver* HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
This query would result in all servers with names beginning with server, such as server-1, server-2, or server-data.

Example 7.4. Wildcard search query for name=s*1

GET /api/hosts?search=name%3D*1 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
This query would result in all servers with names beginning with s and ending with 1, such as server1 or server-1 .

7.2.4. Creating a Resource in a Collection
Copia collegamento

The API creates a new resource with a POST request to the collection URI containing a representation of the new resource.
A POST request requires a Content-Type: application/xml header. This informs the API of the XML representation in the body content as part of the request.
Each resource type has its own specific required properties. The client supplies these properties as XML elements when creating a new resource. Refer to the individual resource type documentation for more details. If a required property is absent, the creation fails with a fault representation indicating the missing elements. 
POST /api/collection HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-Type: application/xml

<resource>
    <name>Resource-Name</name>
</resource>

HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Content-Type: application/xml

<resource id="resource_id" href="/api/collection/resource_id">
    <name>Resource-Name</name>
    ...
</resource>
The Location header in the response gives the URI of the queried resource. The response body contains either a complete representation, partial representation or no representation of the resource. It is recommended that clients rely only on fetching the representation via the URI in the response header.
