3. Conventions

Ansible Automation Platform controller uses a standard REST API, rooted at /api/ on the server. The API is versioned for compatibility reasons, and currently api/v2/ is the latest available version. You can see information about what API versions are available by querying /api/.

You may have to specify the content/type on POST or PUT requests accordingly.

  • PUT: Update a specific resource (by an identifier) or a collection of resources. PUT can also be used to create a specific resource if the resource identifier is known before-hand.

  • POST: Create a new resource. Also acts as a catch-all verb for operations that do not fit into the other categories.

All URIs not ending with "/" receive a 301 redirect.
