the popular open source program curl.

# Command: operator api
|
|
|
|
The `operator api` command allows easy access to Nomad's HTTP API similar to
|
|
the popular [curl] program. Nomad's `operator api` command reads [environment
|
|
variables][envvars] to dramatically ease HTTP API access compared to trying to
|
|
manually write the same command with the third party `curl` command.
|
|
|
|
For example for the following environment:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
NOMAD_TOKEN=d4434353-c797-19e4-a14d-4068241f86a4
|
|
NOMAD_CACERT=$HOME/.nomad/ca.pem
|
|
NOMAD_CLIENT_CERT=$HOME/.nomad/cli.pem
|
|
NOMAD_CLIENT_KEY=$HOME/.nomad/client-key.pem
|
|
NOMAD_TLS_SERVER_NAME=client.global.nomad
|
|
NOMAD_ADDR=https://remote.client123.internal:4646
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Accessing Nomad's [`/v1/jobs`][jobs] HTTP endpoint with `nomad operator
|
|
api` would require:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
nomad operator api /v1/jobs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Performing the same request using the external `curl` tool would require:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
curl \
|
|
--cacert "$HOME/.nomad/ca.pem" \
|
|
--cert "$HOME/.nomad/client.pem" \
|
|
--key "$HOME/.nomad/client-key.pem" \
|
|
--connect-to "client.global.nomad:4646:remote.client123.internal:4646" \
|
|
-H "X-Nomad-Token: ${NOMAD_TOKEN}" \
|
|
https://client.global.nomad:4646/v1/jobs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `-dryrun` flag for `nomad operator api` will output a curl command instead
|
|
of performing the HTTP request immediately. Note that you do *not* need the 3rd
|
|
party `curl` command installed to use `operator api`. The `curl` output from
|
|
`-dryrun` is intended for use in scripts or running in locations without a
|
|
Nomad binary present.
