Invoking the APIs

There are various mechanisms available to invoke CloudBees CD/RO APIs to create models, run objects, modify properties, and so on.

REST - https://sda.<instanceName>.cb-demos.io/rest/doc/v1.0/
ectool
ec-perl
ec-groovy
DSL (both Declarative and Scripted)
$[/javascript api.<apiName>({fieldName: “value”, …})]
$[/increment /path/to/property <optional increment value>] (updates and retrieves a property)

API command naming conventions

Table 1. API command names
Name	Example
`create`<object>	`createProcedure`
`delete`<object>	`deleteProcedure`
`modify`<object>	`deleteProcedure`
`get`<object>	`getProcedure`
`get`<object>s	`getProcedures`
`run`<object>	`runProcedure`

DSL has access to all the API commands plus direct access to objects. For example, the procedure DSL command can be used to create and modify a procedure. It can also be used as a closure to encapsulate steps and other subobjects.
