V2 API
======
This API describes the ways of interacting with Mistral service via HTTP protocol
using Representational State Transfer concept (ReST).
Basics
-------
Media types
^^^^^^^^^^^
Currently this API relies on JSON to represent states of REST resources.
Error states
^^^^^^^^^^^^
The common HTTP Response Status Codes (https://github.com/for-GET/know-your-http-well/blob/master/status-codes.md) are used.
Application root [/]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Application Root provides links to all possible API methods for Mistral. URLs
for other resources described below are relative to Application Root.
API v2 root [/v2/]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
All API v2 urls are relative to API v2 root.
Workbooks
---------
.. autotype:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.resources.Workbook
:members:
`name` is immutable. tags is a list of values associated with a workbook that
a user can use to group workbooks by some criteria (deployment workbooks,
Big Data processing workbooks etc.). Note that name and tags get inferred from
workbook definition when Mistral service receives a POST request. So they
can't be changed in another way.
.. autotype:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.resources.Workbooks
:members:
.. rest-controller:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.workbook:WorkbooksController
:webprefix: /v2/workbooks
Workflows
---------
.. autotype:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.resources.Workflow
:members:
`name` is immutable. tags is a list of values associated with a workflow that
a user can use to group workflows by some criteria. Note that name and tags get
inferred from workflow definition when Mistral service receives a POST request.
So they can't be changed in another way.
.. autotype:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.resources.Workflows
:members:
.. rest-controller:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.workflow:WorkflowsController
:webprefix: /v2/workflows
Actions
-------
.. autotype:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.resources.Action
:members:
.. autotype:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.resources.Actions
:members:
.. rest-controller:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.action:ActionsController
:webprefix: /v2/actions
Executions
----------
.. autotype:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.resources.Execution
:members:
.. autotype:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.resources.Executions
:members:
.. rest-controller:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.execution:ExecutionsController
:webprefix: /v2/executions
Tasks
-----
When a workflow starts Mistral creates an execution. It in turn consists of a
set of tasks. So Task is an instance of a task described in a Workflow that
belongs to a particular execution.
.. autotype:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.resources.Task
:members:
.. autotype:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.resources.Tasks
:members:
.. rest-controller:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.task:TasksController
:webprefix: /v2/tasks
.. rest-controller:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.task:ExecutionTasksController
:webprefix: /v2/executions
Action Executions
-----------------
When a Task starts Mistral creates a set of Action Executions. So Action Execution
is an instance of an action call described in a Workflow Task that belongs to a
particular execution.
.. autotype:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.resources.ActionExecution
:members:
.. autotype:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.resources.ActionExecutions
:members:
.. rest-controller:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.action_execution:ActionExecutionsController
:webprefix: /v2/action_executions
.. rest-controller:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.action_execution:TasksActionExecutionController
:webprefix: /v2/tasks
Cron Triggers
-------------
Cron trigger is an object that allows to run Mistral workflows according to a time
pattern (Unix crontab patterns format). Once a trigger is created it will run a
specified workflow according to its properties: pattern, first_execution_time and
remaining_executions.
.. autotype:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.resources.CronTrigger
:members:
.. autotype:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.resources.CronTriggers
:members:
.. rest-controller:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.cron_trigger:CronTriggersController
:webprefix: /v2/cron_triggers
Environments
------------
Environment contains a set of variables which can be used in specific workflow.
Using an Environment it is possible to create and map action default values -
just provide '__actions' key in 'variables'. All these variables can be
accessed using the Workflow Language with the ``<% $.__env %>`` expression.
Example of usage:
.. code-block:: yaml
workflow:
tasks:
task1:
action: std.echo output=<% $.__env.my_echo_output %>
Example of creating action defaults
::
...ENV...
"variables": {
"__actions": {
"std.echo": {
"output": "my_output"
}
}
},
...ENV...
Note: using CLI, Environment can be created via JSON or YAML file.
.. autotype:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.resources.Environment
:members:
.. autotype:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.resources.Environments
:members:
.. rest-controller:: mistral.api.controllers.v2.environment:EnvironmentController
:webprefix: /v2/environments
Services
--------
Through service management API, system administrator or operator can retrieve
Mistral services information of the system, including service group and service
identifier. The internal implementation of this feature make use of tooz library,
which needs coordinator backend(the most commonly used at present is Zookeeper)
installed, please refer to tooz official documentation for more detailed
instruction.
There are three service groups according to Mistral architecture currently, namely
api_group, engine_group and executor_group. The service identifier contains name
of the host the service is running on and the process identifier of the service on
that host.

:webprefix: /v2/services
Validation
----------
Validation endpoints allow to check correctness of workbook, workflow and ad-hoc
action Workflow Language without having to upload them into Mistral.
**POST /v2/workbooks/validation**
Validate workbook content (Workflow Language grammar and semantics).
**POST /v2/workflows/validation**
Validate workflow content (Workflow Language grammar and semantics).
**POST /v2/actions/validation**
Validate ad-hoc action content (Workflow Language grammar and semantics).
These endpoints expect workbook, workflow or ad-hoc action text (Workflow Language) correspondingly
in a request body.
