The above suggestion did not work for me, but I found a simpler solution
although thanks Kaliel for pointing me in the right direction.
You really only need to PUT to foreman at API endpoint
/host/HOST/power , where HOST is the name of your server in foreman.
and you need to PUT power_action = start or stop. In my case since I am
writing in python I create the json from a dictionary as shown below. I
hope this helps. The code below is a simplified version of my code but I
think this does the trick.
I am writing my client in python
import requests
import simplejson as json
data_dict = { “power_action”:“stop”}
data_json = json.dumps(data_dict)
foreman_server = “foreman.localdomain” #replace with the fqdn of your
foreman server
server_name = “myserver.localdomain” #replace with the name of the
server you want to power off
username = "bart"
password = “SimpsoN”
url = “https://{}/hosts/{}/power”.format(foreman_server,server_name)
#The above would create url =
“https://foreman.localdomain/hosts/myserver.localdomain/power”
headers = {‘Content-type’: ‘application/json’, ‘Accept’:
‘application/json’}
response = requests.put(url,auth=(username,password),
data=data_json, headers=headers,verify=False)
I hope this helps. My virtualization solution is ESX Vmware so I don’t
know if this applies to other virtualization backends.

For the record, we finally got it working here (after spending a
little time digging through the source).
In your 'compute_attributes' section, add 'power_action' : 'start'.
This parameter takes two possible actions, 'start', and 'stop'.

Hello every one,
Is there any updates about this topic ?
I'm using foreman with different compute resources (Libvirt,
Ec2, ...) as the main Hub and management tool and would also
like to power UP / Down some Hosts via the API and scheduled
cmds... but faced the same issue as Viet.
What can I provide to you to go forward ?
Thanks a lot in advance :)

From my Java Rest client I'm able to connect to a secure

No luck with mimicking the browser request [2] either
from java or curl. It seems like I need to first login
and somehow obtain authenticity_token for subsequent
requests.

how did you execute it? can you provide the full curl line?
