# Validate HTTP API
The `/validate` endpoints are used to validate object structs, fields, and
types.
## Validate Job
This endpoint validates a Nomad job file. The local Nomad agent forwards the
request to a server. In the event a server can't be reached the agent verifies
the job file locally but skips validating driver configurations.
~> This endpoint accepts a **JSON job file**, not an HCL job file.
| Method | Path | Produces |
| ------- | ------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| `POST` | `/v1/validate/job` | `application/json` |
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
[blocking queries](/api/index.html#blocking-queries),
[consistency modes](/api/index.html#consistency-modes), and
[required ACLs](/api/index.html#acls).
| Blocking Queries | Consistency Modes | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | ----------------- | ------------ |
| `NO` | `none` | `none` |
### Parameters
There are no parameters, but the request _body_ contains the entire job file.
