# 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) and
[required ACLs](/api/index.html#acls).
| Blocking Queries | ACL Required |
| ---------------- | -------------------------- |
| `NO` | `namespace:read-job` |
### Parameters
There are no parameters, but the request _body_ contains the entire job file.
### Sample Payload
```text
(any valid nomad job IN JSON FORMAT)
```
### Sample Request
```text
$ curl \
--request POST \
--data @my-job.nomad \
https://localhost:4646/v1/validate/job
```
### Sample Response
```json
{
"DriverConfigValidated": true,
"ValidationErrors": [
"Task group cache validation failed: 1 error(s) occurred:\n\n* Task redis validation failed: 1 error(s) occurred:\n\n* 1 error(s) occurred:\n\n* minimum CPU value is 20; got 1"
],
"Warnings": "1 warning(s):\n\n* Group \"cache\" has warnings: 1 error(s) occurred:\n\n* Update max parallel count is greater than task group count (13 > 1). A destructive change would result in the simultaneous replacement of all allocations.",
"Error": "1 error(s) occurred:\n\n* Task group cache validation failed: 1 error(s) occurred:\n\n* Task redis validation failed: 1 error(s) occurred:\n\n* 1 error(s) occurred:\n\n* minimum CPU value is 20; got 1"
