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]] Examples below are either via curl ,perl ,ruby or 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> h2.
