Reaper HTTP REST API Curl Examples

[Rhys Campbell]

Hello All,

Does anyone have any examples using curl with the Reaper http rest api? I want to create a few basic Nagios checks using the API.

I receive a pong on the http://localhost:8081/ping url but I get 404 on all other requests. I do have shiro auth enabled but get a 404 on the /login url as well. FYI - the spreaper tool doesn't work out of the box with a rpm install. 

Cheers,

Rhys

Hi Rhys, 

I think you need to set the "content-type" header to be "application/json" for most operations.

The login endpoint will need a "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" content type and you'll need to pass username, password and rememberMe as form parameters in the body.

Not sure how this is done specifically with curl though.

Here's how I set it up with ARC, which is a Chrome extension to send REST requests :

You may also check the spreaper code to see how we interact with the REST endpoints from Python.

Note that you don't need a jwt as long as you pass the JSESSIONID cookie in all your requests. 

Cheers,

Thanks got it. For the benefit of others...

Login with...

curl -v -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d @data.txt  http://localhost:8080/login

-v - Display the headers. You will need the Set-Cookie value for further requests.

-d - Text file with username & password params. In form username=username&password=secret

Then you can make requests as follows...

# List clusters in reaper...

curl --cookie "JSESSIONID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX;Path=/" http://localhost:8080/cluster
