Hi,
I want to get data from every host for a certain fact value. It looks like
this was available in the 1.1 API in the following form.
/facts/<factname>/valuesGETreturn all hosts with the given factname and its
value
What would this translate to in foreman 1.2 without going through and
traversing through every host using /api/hosts/:host_id/facts.

If you request /api/fact_values you get every fact back sorted by host,
but you can use the "search" parameter to restrict this to the fact
you're interested in (same parameters as the search in the web UI).
Try using /api/fact_values?search=name=ipaddress.

I believe that unfortunately that's not possible with the current API (the
one whose endpoints start with '/api').
I can give you a temporary solution though, if you are familiar with Rails,
you can go to Foreman's root directory (/usr/share/foreman by default), and
start a rails console "RAILS_ENV=production rails console", and run the
following command.
result = FactValue.find_all_by_fact_name_id(FactName.find_by_name('WRITE
HERE YOUR FACT NAME')).map { |factvalue| [factvalue.host, factvalue.value] }
This will create an array containing all [host, value] pairs for a
particular fact. You can convert this to JSON or anything else with
"result.to_json" if you need to process it.
As an upside, this sounds like a good feature, I will open a ticket to have
this back in the API.

Thanks Dominic, this was the method I ended up using and was going to
document that I fixed my issue by looking at the web ui. Thanks all for
your help.
/api/fact_values?search=name+<fact_value>&per_page=10000

nitpick - in favor of performance, I would write:
FactValue.joins(:fact_name).where(:fact_names => {:name => '<your fact
>'}).includes(:host).map {|v| [v.host.name, v.value]}
as a side note, you can get that result via the api using search, for
example:
https://foreman/api/fact_values?search=fact=<your fact name>
