Crowd REST API Reference

Crowd 3.1.3

Welcome to the Crowd REST API reference. This page documents the REST resources available in Crowd, along with expected HTTP response codes and sample requests. This set of REST APIs is intended to be used by applications connecting to Crowd.

URI Structure

The Crowd REST APIs allow you to address the Crowd data entities as 'resources'. This means that the data entities are identified by URIs and operated on by HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT and DELETE). Below are details of the resources made available by the APIs. To use a REST API, your application will make an HTTP request and parse the response.

Depending on the resource, responses are returned as JSON and/or XML. For resources that offer both, you can use the Accept HTTP header to specify which one you prefer. URIs for Crowd's REST API resource have the following structure:

http://host:port/context/rest/api-name/api-version/resource-name

Currently the following API names are available, which will be discussed further below:

  • usermanagement - intended for applications to interact with the Crowd server for user management operations
  • admin - intended to be used for administrative operations on the Crowd server

Each API has it's version. However, there is also a symbolic version, called latest, which resolves to the latest version supported by the given Crowd instance. As an example, if you wanted to retrieve information about a user 'admin' from a Crowd instance, you would access:

https://crowd-server:8095/crowd/rest/usermanagement/latest/user?username=admin

There is a WADL document that contains the documentation for each resource in the REST API. It is available here.

Authentication

The preferred authentication methods for the Crowd REST APIs is HTTP basic authentication (when using SSL).

Please note that the usermanagement resource expects the callers to authenticate using the application credentials (i.e. the application name and password configured in Crowd). Calls to this APIs are restricted by IP as configured. Permissions and seen users, groups and other entities depend on the application configuration as well.

Other resources expect the callers to authenticate using the user credentials. Permissions depend on configured user permissions.

Expansion

In order to simplify API responses, the Crowd REST API uses resource expansion. This means the API will only return parts of the resource when explicitly requested.

You can use the expand query parameter to specify a comma-separated list of entities that you want expanded, identifying each of them by name. For example, appending ?expand=attributes to a users's URI requests the inclusion of the user attribute names and values in the response. Continuing with our example above, we would use the following URL to get the attribute values for the 'admin' user:

https://crowd-server:8095/crowd/rest/usermanagement/latest/user?username=admin&expand=attributes

To discover the identifiers for each entity, look at the expand property in the parent object. In the JSON example below, the resource declares widgets as being expandable.

{"expand":"widgets", "widgets":{"widgets":[]}}

You can use the dot notation to specify expansion of entities within another entity. For example ?expand=widgets.fringels would expand the widgets collection and also the fringel property on each widget.

Experimental methods

Methods marked as experimental may change without an earlier notice. We are looking for your feedback for these methods.
