This tutorial demonstrates how to search for a task via RESTful API.
It is similar to the Searching for a task procedure. The difference is that the job ID is being input as a query parameter in the URL.
The commands are provided in curl and can be run from the command prompt when the 12d Synergy Server is running (or in a batch script).
Additional API documentation
To get a list of most of the API requests available, with the 12d Synergy server running, browse http://synergy.myserver.com/api-docs/ui/index.
(Replace synergy.myserver.com with the external server address and update the port numbers if necessary.)
1.1. Getting the Personal Access Token to access API
The tutorial for getting the PAT is here: Generate PAT in Web client.
1.2. Getting the Job ID
Refer to Search Jobs to get the required job ID.
After getting the Job ID, it can now be input into the API request.
1.3. Getting a Task List for a Job
This request is available in the API Documentation under Tasks, marked 'Get task list for a job'.
Sample Request
curl --location 'http://localhost:8080/api/v1/tasks/getTaskList?job_id={job-id-here}' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <your-token-here>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \Below is a sample response for the tasks of a specific job. Click
