Deprecated REST API Documentation

Intro

In the REST API examples, HTTP requests are defined as raw HTTP. For example:

POST /v2/zones HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json

{
     "name": "example.org.",
     "email": "hostmaster@example.org"
}

With this info we can make this request using the cURL tool. We’ll assume we are running Designate on localhost.

curl -X POST -i \
     -H 'Accept: application/json' \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d '{"name": "example.org.", "email": "hostmaster@example.org"}' \
     http://localhost:9001/v2/zones

The -i flag is used to dump the response headers as well as the response body.

The cURL tool is extremely robust. Please take a look at the cURL tutorial for more info.

HTTP Headers

These headers work for all APIs

  • X-Designate-Edit-Managed-Records
    • Allows admins (or users with the right role) to modify managed records (records created by designate-sink / reverse floating ip API)

  • X-Auth-All-Projects
    • Allows admins (or users with the right role) to view and edit zones / recordsets for all tenants

  • X-Auth-Sudo-Tenant-ID / X-Auth-Sudo-Project-ID
    • Allows admins (or users with the right role) to impersonate another tenant specified by this header
