Foreman API Example Find all hosts by given OS? I need to query Foreman
for only hosts that have a given OS, for example 'CentOS' in the OS
parameter. I also need to find all hosts that are in a specific state. So
one query is all CentOS OS based hosts, and then all hosts that are a build
pending complete for example. Any help greatly appreciated! I am not all
familiar with JSON, but figure both queries would really use a GET or
customized URL syntax? I could not seem to find any examples beyond very
generic stuff, like list all hosts type of thing.
This gets all hosts, ok… but how do I narrow it to a specific OS type?
host state?
curl --user admin:changeme -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H
"Accept:application/json" -k https://foreman/api/v2/hosts

you should experiment with the search syntax on the UI (using the auto
completer). what you asked for could be done easily:
Add the following to your curl line:
-X GET -d '{"search":"build = true and os = Fedora"}'
or simply use hammer, our official foreman cli

I was using…
curl --user admin:changeme -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H
"Accept:application/json" -k https://server/api/v2/hosts?search='CentOS
<https://foreman.dachshund-digital.org/api/v2/hosts?search='ESXi>'
But your example, the syntax seems more flexible… thanks for the example.
