API

NOTE: Version of 0.1-6 or git develop branch are required to use the API

Foreman provides a REST API, communicating via JSON.

Please refer to this document for latest information about Foreman API.

Examples below are either via curl or ruby rest_client

most pages can be browsed via adding the format option to the url (at least for get requests), i.e.

http://foreman/environments?format=json

Or using HTTP Headers

curl -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept:application/json"  http://foreman/hosts

Output is JSON formatted, in the last example expect a similar output:

[{"host":{"name":"pm1.local.net"}},{"host":{"name":"pm2.local.net"}}....]
