h1. API
*NOTE*: Version of 0.1-6 or git develop branch are required to use the API
Foreman provides a "REST":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer API, communicating via JSON.
Please refer to this document for latest information about Foreman API.
[[Examples]] below are either via curl, perl, ruby rest_client
most pages can be browsed via adding the format option to the url (at least for get requests), i.e.
<pre>
http://foreman/environments?format=json
</pre>
Or using HTTP Headers
<pre>
curl -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json" http://foreman/hosts
</pre>
Output is JSON formatted, in the last example expect a similar output:
<pre>
[{"host":{"name":"pm1.local.net"}},{"host":{"name":"pm2.local.net"}}....]
</pre>
