API Overview and Access

Overview

Cloud Application Manager provides an API to programmatically configure and deploy complex box configurations to public, private cloud providers, or your own infrastructure.

The Cloud Application Manager API is especially useful for these scenarios:

  • To automate and integrate Cloud Application Manager features within larger build, deployment frameworks like Jenkins continuous development and integration.

  • To integrate Cloud Application Manager features within external applications and interfaces. For example, you can provide detailed reporting on box, workspace, and provider usage.

  • To automate deployment actions in custom applications where your application can call Cloud Application Manager features on demand.

You can embed API requests within your existing Python, Ruby, Java, C, C++, Go, and other such code using common API actions such as GET, POST, DELETE, and PUT.

Headers

All request headers must have three elements: Content-Type, Authorization, and ElasticBox-Release.

Content-Type

The REST API supports HTTP requests and responses in JSON format. All your request headers must identify the JSON content type.

Authorization

The token based on a user’s account authorizes access to data in Cloud Application Manager. Typically, you want the user to have broad access to Cloud Application Manager data like a user with administrator privileges. API requests from external applications should be made as this user. API responses return data based on this user’s access level in Cloud Application Manager.
Tokens assure a secure way to connect to Cloud Application Manager without compromising credentials while you make API requests over the web. Tokens work for any type of authentication whether that’s username, password, Google, GitHub, or LDAP. We authorize token access using basic authentication.
Follow these steps to get a token from your Cloud Application Manager account.

Steps

  1. Sign in to the Cloud Application Manager website.

  2. From the user drop-down menu on the right, click Authentication Tokens.

    api1

  3. Enter a descriptive name for the token and click Create Token.

    api2

  4. Use the clipboard icon to copy the token to then pass it in your API request headers.

More on Tokens

  • You can create and use up to 50 tokens.
  • Tokens never expire. To invalidate an API call, simply delete the token that’s used.
  • When making API calls to the Providers resource, additional provider token limits may apply. To learn about these limits, check your provider documentation.

ElasticBox-Release

As part of the request headers, specify the latest version of the Cloud Application Manager release, which is 4.0.

Example

Headers for a sample request look like this.

Headers:

Content-Type: application/json
Authorization:Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJvcGVyYXRpb25zIiwianRpIjoiNjk0YTgzMTgtZjZlMy00MDA5LTgxNTItYzdlNTE0NzFlMzU3IiwiZXhwIjoxNTExMzY3ODYxLCJvcmdhbml6YXRpb24iOiJlbGFzdGljYm94IiwiaWF0IjoxNTEwMDcxODYxLCJ0eXBlIjoidXNlciIsIm5hbWUiOiJPcGVyYXRpb25zIEVsYXN0aWNCb3gifQ.hob7M5swTflmbsw_iGe94FPnFgBvWbVKscvKN8Ij_4AgRj7PFrYVIwW8Xyd-PIuDKWLe3cGGE0Hz8g6KdDUMzbfp-dXk4JjqyenejCA-UTF9dv1z-pWt69IevRNR5XdYR5iVff4-Yy33RMaeWHaLuYTbOQHjVI2MDB7shlOCx4sERDtd31OyD6ZjNgRMLLDR0AFLTj2KRDleoH8iG0yXodD0AVk0iAcBCaakgZR5ROAZDb3SoSpsKYPS4dC-eWd_s0VgdYaWOd1jI0ev66-oPgSul9kAuIjozyNZ3s4vW0i-8Y5sH4lTWgMqTmf3lmjA6e2sj5lV9-boE3k3ALJwPg

    Deploy a Box

    Overview

    This guide shows how to deploy a mongoDB instance using the Cloud Application Manager API. In this sample, we deploy a MongoDB instance using the existing MongoDB public box, the steps you need are:

    Note: We use cURL commands to send HTTP requests to the API objects in JSON. JSON is the required format for all API requests and responses.

    Now let’s look at the script in sections to understand how you can make API calls from any code you like.

    Authenticate with Cloud Application Manager

    First of all, you should be Administrator on the target workspace or have Administrator access to your organization in Cloud Application Manager.

    Before calling to the API you have to log in into the Cloud Application Manager website and get an authentication token. You will use this token later as an http header to perform every call to the Cloud Application Manager API.

    Declare Deployment Arguments

    Next variables are set with script calling parameters. This way, each time you run the script, you can pass different deployment arguments. These declared variables are referenced later in your script as request parameter values.

    Variable Type Description
    provider_key
    provider_secret
    string We will need the provider account key and secret to register a provider.
    See below how to register a provider and get its parameters.
    json_web_token string This is the authentication token obtained before.
    An example is eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJvcGVyYb25z...
    environment string Set your URL organization hostname or your appliance IP, where API calls are sent.
    Examples are: cam.ctl.io (if you are using CAM SaaS edition), 192.168.1.10 (for a local CAM appliance).
    owner string Specify the user ID in Cloud Application Manager who owns the provider account. You can retrieve it from the GET provider API call, in the returned owner field.
    username string Name of the admin user.
    password string Password of the admin user.

    Start your script with the following lines:

    # Deployment common variables
    provider_key=$1
    provider_secret=$2
    
    json_web_token=$3
    environment=$4
    owner=$5
    
    username=$6
    password=$7
    

    There are other variables obtained during the script execution and necessary in next script steps.

    Variable Type Description
    provider_id string Obtained when registering a provider.
    policy_box_id string Obtained when creating a deployment policy box.
    instance_id string Obtained when deployin a box instance.

    Register a Provider in Cloud Application Manager

    A provider is a public or private cloud account you can register in Cloud Application Manager.

    To register a provider we send a POST request to the Provider object with the required parameters.

    In this case, we choose to create an AWS as provider in the appliance. From the AWS account credentials we will need the key and the secret right now. Creating it in an organization service requires ARN code as credential. You can obtain the required parameters for other providers in Provider object API doc.

    If there’s an error registering the provider, we output the error. Else, we output the provider ID and save it in provider_id variable.

    Add the following lines to your script:

    # Register the provider AWS in Cloud Application Manager script
    payload="{
      \"icon\": \"images/platform/aws.png\",
      \"type\": \"Amazon Web Services\",

        \"secret\": \"$provider_secret\"
      },
      \"owner\": \"$owner\"
    }"
    provider=$(curl -k -s \
        -X POST \
        -H "Authorization:Bearer $json_web_token" \

    provider_id=$(echo $provider | python -c 'import json,sys; print json.load(sys.stdin)["id"]')
    if [ -z != $provider_id ]; then
        echo "Created provider $provider_id"
    else
        echo "Error creating the provider: $provider"
    fi;
    

    Create a Deployment Policy Box

    A deployment policy box is where you specify settings to deploy applications in a specific virtual environment.

    To create a deployment policy box we send a POST request to the Box object with the provider ID obtained when registering the provider in the provider_id variable.

    If there’s an error in creating the deployment policy box, we output the error. Else, we output the created deployment policy box ID and save it in policy_box_id variable.

    Add the following lines to your script:

    payload="{
            \"owner\": \"$owner\",
            \"schema\": \"http://elasticbox.net/schemas/boxes/policy\",

    if [ -z != $policy_box_id ]; then
            echo "Created Deployment Policy Box $policy_box_id"
    else
            echo "Error launching the Deployment Policy Box: $policy_box"
            exit 1
    fi;
    

    Deploy a MongoDB Instance

    To deploy a MongoDB instance using the existing MongoDB public box, we send a POST request to the Instances object with the box ID of the MongoDB box mongo_box_id variable and the policy box ID obtained when creating the policy box in the policy_box_id variable.

    If there’s an error deploying instance, we output the error. Else, we output the deployed instance ID and save it in instance_id variable.

    Add the following lines to your script:

    #Deploy the instance
    payload="{
        \"schema\": \"http://elasticbox.net/schemas/deploy-instance-request\",

    fi;
    

    We store the response and check if the instance launched. If it failed to launch, we output an error or say that the instance is available and give its ID.

    While the instance is launching, we check its state every 30 seconds with a GET request to the Instances object by passing the instance ID. Then we evaluate whether to wait or continue: If it’s still processing, we say so and wait or we output the current instance state and move to the next task.

        echo "The state of the Instance is $instance_state $instance_operation. Process completed"
        break
      fi
    done
    

    Terminate the Instance

    To remove the instance from the virtual machine, we send a DELETE request to the Instances object with the instance ID. Then we check its response status. If it’s 200, we say that the specific instance is terminated. Else, we output the error state from the response.

    status=$(curl -s -k \
      -X DELETE \
      -H "Accept: application/json" \
      -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_8) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/12.0.742.112 Safari/534.30" \

      -w '%{http_code}' \
      -o /dev/null \
      https://$environment/services/instances/${instance_id}?operation=terminate)
    if [[ ! $status -eq 202 ]]; then
      echo "Error terminating the instance: Error $status"
      exit 1
    else
      echo "Terminated Instance $instance_id"
    fi
    

    While waiting for the instance to terminate, we do a GET on the Instances object with the instance ID to know the operation running on the instance and its current state. If it’s processing, we say so and wait for it to complete or we output the operation that was run and the instance state.

    #Wait for the instance to be terminated
    COUNTER=0
    while [[ $COUNTER -lt 30 ]]; do
      instance=$(curl -k -s \

        -H "Content-Type:application/json" \
        -H "Authorization:Bearer $json_web_token" \
        -H "elasticbox-release:4.0" \
        https://$environment/services/instances/${instance_id})
      instance_state=$(echo $instance | python -c 'import json,sys; print json.load(sys.stdin)["state"]')
      instance_operation=$(echo $instance | python -c 'import json,sys; print json.load(sys.stdin)["operation"]')
      if [[ "$instance_state" == "processing" ]]; then
        echo "The state of the instance is $instance_state $instance_operation Waiting for it to be done or unavailable"
        let COUNTER=COUNTER+1
        sleep 30
      else
        echo "The state of the Instance is $instance_state $instance_operation"
        break
      fi
    done
    

    Lastly, we delete the instance and its logs from Cloud Application Manager by sending a DELETE request with the instance ID to the Instances object. Once done, we say that the instance is deleted. Similarly we delete the deployment policy box with a DELETE request to the Profiles object and confirm that it’s done.

    #Remove the deployment policy box
    status=$(curl -s -k \
      -X DELETE \
      -H "Accept: application/json" \
      -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_8) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/12.0.742.112 Safari/534.30" \
      -H "Content-Type:application/json" \
      -H "Authorization:Bearer $json_web_token" \
      -H "elasticbox-release:4.0" \
      -w '%{http_code}' \
      -o /dev/null \
      https://$environment/services/boxes/${policy_box_id})
    if [[ ! $status -eq 204 ]]; then
      echo "Error terminating the Deployment Policy Box: Error $status"
      exit 1
    else
      echo "Terminated Deployment Policy Box $policy_box_id"
    fi

    Instance Flow

    In this article

    Overview

    This guide shows how to use Cloud Application Manager API from Registering a Provider to the Deployment of an Instance.

    Notes:

    1. The following examples use cURL command to send HTTP requests to the API objects in JSON. JSON is the required format for all API requests and responses.

    2. cURL command is used with the -k parameter for convenience, allowing it to proceed and operate even for server connections considered insecure. Don't use it in production.

    3. When executing a command, it takes a while for the resources to be ready, and calling the next step before the previous is completed may lead to error (i.e. right after creating the provider it will start the synchronization, and the deployment box cannot be created until the first sync completes).

    Now let’s look at the script in sections to understand how you can make API calls from any code you like.

    Authenticate with Cloud Application Manager

    First of all, you need to hold the administrator role on a workspace to be able to run these steps. You must obtain Administrator access to Cloud Application Manager.
    Before calling to the API you have to sign in into the Cloud Application Manager website and get an authentication token. You will use this token as an authentication HTTP header to perform every call to the Cloud Application Manager API.

    Obtain Deployment Variables

    Next, define the variables that will contain the parameters of the script. This way, each time you run the script, you can pass different deployment arguments. These declared variables are referenced later in your script as request parameter values.

    Variable Description
    provider_key You need the provider account key and secret to register a provider.
    provider_secret See below how to register a provider and get its parameters.
    json_web_token This is the authentication token obtained before.
    It's a long BASE64 encoded string that starts with something like:
    eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJvcGVyYb25z...
    environment Set your URL organization hostname or your appliance IP, where API calls are sent.
    Examples are: cam.ctl.io, your-organization.cam.ctl.io, 192.168.1.10.
    owner Specify the user ID in Cloud Application Manager who owns the provider account.

    Start with your script with the following lines:

    # Deployment common variables
    provider_key=$1
    provider_secret=$2
    json_web_token=$3
    environment=$4
    owner=$5
    

    There are other variables obtained during the script execution and necessary in next script steps.

    Variable Description
    provider_id Obtained when registering a provider.
    policy_box_id Obtained when creating a deployment policy box.
    box_id Obtained when creating a custom box.
    instance_id Obtained when deployin a box instance.

    Register a Provider in Cloud Application Manager

    A provider is a public or private cloud account you can register in Cloud Application Manager.

    To register a provider send a POST request to the Providers endpoint with the required parameters.

    This example follows the steps to create an AWS provider in a Cloud Application Manager appliance. It will be necessary a key and the secret pair.
    Creating it in an organization service requieres a role ARN as credential instance of a key pair.
    Other provider types require different credential sets that you can check in the Providers endpoint API doc.

    If there’s an error registering the provider, it outputs the error. Else, it outputs the provider ID and saves it in provider_id variable.

    Add the following lines to the script:

    # Register the provider AWS in Cloud Application Manager script
    payload="{
      \"icon\": \"images/platform/aws.png\",
      \"type\": \"Amazon Web Services\",
      \"description\": \"Manage EC2, ECS and Cloudformation instances\",
      \"schema\": \"http://elasticbox.net/schemas/aws/provider\",
      \"name\": \"AWS Provider example via API\",
      \"credentials\": {
        \"key\": \"$provider_key\",
        \"secret\": \"$provider_secret\"
      },
      \"owner\": \"$owner\"
    }"
    provider=$(curl -k -s \
        -X POST \
        -H "Authorization:Bearer $json_web_token" \
        -H "elasticbox-release:4.0" \
        -H "Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*" \
        -H "Accept-encoding: gzip, deflate" \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -d "$payload" https://$environment/services/providers)
    provider_id=$(echo $provider | python -c 'import json,sys; print json.load(sys.stdin)["id"]')
    if [ -z != $provider_id ]; then
        echo "Created provider $provider_id"
    else
        echo "Error creating the provider: $provider"
    fi;
    

    Create a Deployment Policy Box

    A deployment policy box contains the settings to deploy applications in a specific virtual environment. For AWS, it contains details about the region, VPC, security groups, etc.

    To create a deployment policy box send a POST request to the Boxes endpoint with the provider ID obtained when registering the provider in the provider_id variable.

    If there’s an error in creating the deployment policy box, it outputs the error. Else, it outputs the created deployment policy box ID and saves it in policy_box_id variable.

    Add the following lines to the script:

    # Once the provider has been created, the proper policy box can be set
    payload="{
      \"owner\": \"$owner\",
      \"schema\": \"http://elasticbox.net/schemas/boxes/policy\",
      \"claims\": [
        \"linux\"
      ],

        \"security_groups\": [
    
        ],
        \"subnet\": \"us-east-1a\"
      }
    }"
    policy_box=$(curl -k -s \
        -X POST \
        -H "Content-Type:application/json" \
        -H "Authorization:Bearer $json_web_token" \
        -H "elasticbox-release:4.0" \
        -H "Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*" \
        -H "Accept-encoding: gzip, deflate" \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8" \
        -d "$payload" https://$environment/services/boxes)
    policy_box_id=$(echo $policy_box | python -c 'import json,sys; print json.load(sys.stdin)["id"]')
    if [ -z != $policy_box_id ]; then
        echo "Created policy_box $policy_box_id"
    else
        echo "Error launching the policy_box: $policy_box"
    fi;
    

    Create a Custom Box

    A script box defines the behavior of your application during deployment, reconfiguration and termination.

    To create a box send a POST request to the Boxes endpoint.

    Also use two already created blobs. You can take a look to the Blobs endpoint, API documentation if you need to know how you can create them.

    If there’s an error creating this box, it outputs the error. Else, it outputs the box ID and saves it in box_id variable.

    Add the following lines to the script:

    # Create a box to deploy with that policy box. In this case use a previously uploaded scripts.
    payload="{
      \"automatic_updates\": \"off\",
      \"requirements\": [

          \"value\": \"variable_value\",
          \"visibility\": \"public\"

      ],

        }
      },
      \"schema\": \"http://elasticbox.net/schemas/boxes/script\"
    }"
    box=$(curl -k -s \
        -X POST \
        -H "Content-Type:application/json" \
        -H "Authorization:Bearer $json_web_token" \
        -H "elasticbox-release:4.0" \
        -H "Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*" \

        -H "Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8" \
        -d "$payload" https://$environment/services/boxes) \
    box_id=$(echo $box | python -c 'import json,sys; print json.load(sys.stdin)["id"]')
    if [ -z != $box_id ]; then
        echo "Created box $box_id"
    else
        echo "Error launching the box: $box"
    fi;
    

    Deploy the Instance

    To deploy an instance of the previous box, send a POST request to the Instances endpoint with the box ID obtained when creating the box in the box_id variable and the policy box ID obtained when creating the policy box in the policy_box_id variable.

    If there’s an error deploying the instance, it outputs the error. Else, it outputs the deployed instance ID and saves it in instance_id variable.

    Add the following lines to the script:

    # Finally, deploy the instance
    payload="{
        \"schema\": \"http://elasticbox.net/schemas/deploy-instance-request\",
        \"owner\": \"$owner\",
        \"name\": \"ScriptBoxSample\",
        \"box\": {
            \"id\": \"$box_id\",
            \"variables\": [
            ]
        },
        \"instance_tags\": [
    
        ],
        \"automatic_updates\": \"off\",
        \"policy_box\": {
            \"id\": \"$policy_box_id\",
            \"variables\": [
    
            ]
         }
    }"
    instance=$(curl -k -s \
        -X POST \
        -H "Content-Type:application/json" \
        -H "Authorization:Bearer $json_web_token" \
        -H "elasticbox-release:4.0" 
        -H "Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*" \
        -H "Accept-encoding: gzip, deflate" \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8" \
        -d "$payload" https://$environment/services/instances)
    instance_id=$(echo $instance | python -c 'import json,sys; print json.load(sys.stdin)["id"]')
    if [ -z != $instance_id ]; then
        echo "Deployed instance $instance_id"
    else
        echo "Error deploying the instance: $instance_id"
    fi;
    

    Terminate and Delete the Instance

    Removing the instance from the virtual machine must be done into two steps: first, terminate the instance and second, delete it.

    Terminate runs the stop and terminate events scripts, and then removes the cloud resources, but does not remove the instance from the Cloud Application Manager database. Send a DELETE request to the Instances endpoint with the instance ID obtained when deploying the instance in the instance_id variable and with an operation=terminate URL parameter.

    Then check its response status. If it’s 200, the specific instance has been terminated. Else, check the error state from the response.

    You can force terminate it using operation=force_terminate URL parameter. See detailed DELETE API command in Instances API.

    Add the following lines to the script:

    curl -k -s \
    -X DELETE \
    -H "Authorization:Bearer $json_web_token" \
    -H "elasticbox-release:4.0" \
    -H "Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*" \
    -H "Accept-encoding: gzip, deflate" \
     https://$environment/services/instances/$instance_id??operation=terminate
    
    echo "Undeployed box instance: $instance_id"
    

    Afterwards, send a DELETE command again with an operation=delete URL parameter to remove definitely the instance from Cloud Application Manager.

    Copy previous script lines again and override the last two lines with these new ones:

       https://$environment/services/instances/$instance_id??operation=delete
    
     echo "Removed box instance: $instance_id"
