OpenAPI Document
The App Manager API is documented in a JSON file conforming to the OpenAPI 3.0 specification.
Swagger
The best way to visualize and interact with the API is through Swagger.
Swagger Editor
With Swagger Editor, you can edit the OpenAPI document inside your browser, while previewing the documentation in real time.
Swagger Editor can be installed locally with https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-editor, or by cloning the repository.
git clone https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-editor.git
Then open index.html and import openapi.json.
With Swagger Editor, you can make edits to the OpenAPI document in the left panel (in YAML format) and visualize the UI in the right panel.
Swagger UI
If you do not need to edit the OpenAPI document, you can simply use Swagger UI.
The tool https://github.com/vajahath/open-swagger-ui will allow you to open a local openapi.json file in the Swagger UI.
It requires Node >=10 and can be installed via npm:
Then, change to the directory containing openapi.json and run:
open-swagger-ui .\openapi.json --open
Authentication
In order to use the API, you will need to provide an authorization token.
When making an API call, use -H 'Authorization: Token 123abc', replacing 123abc with your token.
If your are using Swagger UI, click on the ‘Authorize’ button and use value Token 123abc, replacing 123abc with your token.
You can generate an authentication token from your username and password with a POST /accounts/api-token-auth/ call, with the following request body:
{
"username": "user123",
"password": "pw123"
}
If you fail to authenticate, any API calls (except for /accounts/api-token-auth/) will return an error code 401.
Error Codes
The API uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request.
Response
All API calls will generate a response in the format below:
{
"requestId": null,
"result": "",
"error": null
}
requestId contains a unique identifier for each request. You can view the contents of a specific request with GET /api/request/{requestId}/ .
result contains the result of the request.
error contains an error code and description if the request failed on the backend. (Note: The API call, itself, will still be successful and return code 200).
Endpoints
All API endpoints are listed below, along with a brief description for each. More detail on usage and expected results can be found in the OpenAPI document or viewed through the Swagger UI.
