h2. Manually Calling the API
50
51
The API can be manually tested out using curl.  GET types can be retrieved like any other URL.  This one, for example, will return the HTML formatted page with the list of features enabled on the proxy.
52
53 1 Ohad Levy
<pre>
54
curl http://localhost:8443/features
55
</pre>
56
57 14 Michael Coulter
The results can also be returned as JSON if you set an appropriate Accept header.
58
59
<pre>
60
curl -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:8443/features
61
</pre>
62
63 1 Ohad Levy
POST URLs, used to create objects or trigger actions, need to have the parameters passed in via the -d argument.  This curl command line will trigger a puppetrun on server.example.com.
64
<pre>
65
curl -d 'nodes=server.example.com' http://localhost:8443/puppet/run
66 11 Michael Coulter
</pre>
67
68
This curl command line will add an A record for server.example.com with ip address of 10.1.2.5.
69
<pre>
70
curl -d 'fqdn=servers.example.com&value=10.1.2.5&type=A' http://localhost:8443/dns/
71 5 Frank Sweetser
</pre>
72
73
Multiple post options may be specified by repeating the -d argument.
74
<pre>
75
curl -d 'prefix=boot/CentOS-5-x86_64' -d 'path=http://yourlocalmirrorhere/pub/centos/5/os/x86_64/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz'  http://localhost:8443/tftp/fetch_boot_file
76
</pre>
77
78
When you are creating an object, the identifier for the object is typically passed in as part of the URL, rather than as a POST value.  For example, this will create a PXE boot configuration file for a host with MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55, and will just put "Hello World" as the contents of the file.  (A real world example would, of course, substitute a valid PXE boot configuration in the string.)
79
80
<pre>
81
curl -d 'syslinux_config=Hello World' http://localhost:8443/tftp/00:11:22:33:44:55
82
</pre>
83
84
In order to delete objects, you use the same URL as in the original creation, but pass it not POST values, and use the DELETE HTTP method instead of POST.  This will delete the PXE boot configuration file created above.
85
86
<pre>
87
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8443/tftp/00:11:22:33:44:55
