Introduction

Overview

Welcome to the Cloud Foundry V3 API docs! Version 3 adds support for several key features:

Getting help

The CAPI team can most easily be reached on our Slack channel for questions and issues regarding the API. To report an issue with the docs or API, please feel free to file a GitHub issue on our API repo, cloud_controller_ng.

We recommend reaching out to Slack first as we will be most responsive there.

More resources

Concepts

API Resource

A resource represents an individual object within the system, such as an app or a service. It is represented as a JSON object.

A resource consists of several required resource fields and other attributes specific to the resource.

See Resources and Experimental Resources for specific resources.

Required fields

Example Person Resource
{
  "guid": "fd35633f-5c5c-4e4e-a5a9-0722c970a9d2",
  "created_at": "2016-03-18T23:26:46Z",
  "updated_at": "2016-10-17T20:00:42Z",

  "name": "Bob",

  "links": {
    "self": {
      "href": "https://api.example.org/v3/people/fd35633f-5c5c-4e4e-a5a9-0722c970a9d2"
    }
  }
}
Name Type Description
guid uuid The unique identifier for the resource
created_at timestamp The ISO8601 compatible date and time when resource was created
updated_at timestamp The ISO8601 compatible date and time when resource was last updated
links links object URLs to related resources and actions for the current resource

Links provide URLs to relationships and actions for a resource. Links are represented as a JSON object and always contain a self link.

Each link is keyed by its type and will include a href for the URL and an optional method for links that cannot be followed using GET.

Example Link object
{
  "href": "http://example.com/some/endpoint",
  "method": "POST"
}
Name Type Description
href string The absolute URL
method string An optional field containing the HTTP method to be used when following the URL

Authentication

The Cloud Foundry V3 API is secured using OAuth 2. Clients are expected to present a valid bearer token via HTTP header: Authorization: bearer <token>

Tokens can be obtained from the Cloud Foundry UAA server. For more information, see the UAA API Documentation

Authorization

Access to resources is determined by combining scopes in the OAuth 2 token with user roles that are managed by the API.

OAuth 2 scopes

Scope Description
cloud_controller.admin This scope provides read and write access to all resources
cloud_controller.admin_read_only This scope provides read only access to all resources
cloud_controller.global_auditor This scope provides read only access to all resources except secrets (such as environment variables)
cloud_controller.read This scope provides read access to resources based on user roles
cloud_controller.write This scope provides write access to resources based on user roles
cloud_controller.update_build_state This scope allows its bearer to update the state of a build; currently only used when updating builds
cloud_controller_service_permissions.read This scope provides read only access for service instance permissions

Cloud Foundry user roles

Users that interact with the API should have one or more of these roles. Some of them (e.g. admin) are controlled via scopes on the user’s token. Others (e.g. space developer) are controlled via the roles resource.

Role Description
Admin Allows a user to manage the platform; OAuth token must contain cloud_controller.admin scope
Admin Read-Only Allows a user to read all resources on the platform; OAuth token must contain cloud_controller.admin_read_only scope
Global Auditor Allows a user to read all resources on the platform, excluding sensitive data such as environment variables and service bindings. OAuth token must contain cloud_controller.global_auditor scope
Org User Allows a user to be assigned other roles within an organization and its spaces
Org Manager Provides organization management access
Org Auditor Provides read-only access to an organization for auditing purposes
Org Billing Manager Allows a user to create and manage billing account and payment information
Space Developer Allows developers to create and manage apps and services in a space
Space Manager Provides space management access
Space Auditor Provides read-only access to a space for auditing purposes
Space Supporter Troubleshoot and debug apps and service bindings in a space

Component roles

Components that interact with the Cloud Controller in the back-end can be given these roles to allow limited access to API resources. These roles are controlled via scopes on the component’s token.

Role Description
Build State Updater Allows a component to update the state of build resources; OAuth token must contain cloud_controller.update_build_state scope

Errors

Example Error
{
  "errors": [
    {
      "code": 10008,
      "title": "CF-UnprocessableEntity",
      "detail": "something went wrong"
    }
  ]
}

An error response will always return a list of error objects. Errors appear on the job resource for asynchronous operations.

The error object

Clients should use the code and title fields for programmatically handling specific errors. The message in the detail field is subject to change over time.

Name Type Description
code integer A numeric code for this error
title string Name of the error
detail string Detailed description of the error

Common errors

These are some of the more common errors returned by many endpoints.

Title Code HTTP Status Description
CF-BadQueryParameter 10005 400 An invalid query parameter was given
CF-InvalidAuthToken 1000 401 An invalid auth token was given
CF-NotAuthenticated 10002 401 No auth token was given, but authentication is required for this endpoint
CF-NotAuthorized 10003 403 The authenticated user does not have permission to perform this operation
CF-ResourceNotFound 10010 404 The specified resource does not exist, or the authenticated user cannot read it
CF-UnprocessableEntity 10008 422 Catch-all error when an operation fails to complete; the detail field will contain more information
UnknownError 10001 500 An unexpected, uncaught error occurred; the CC logs will contain more information

Fields

The fields parameter allows clients to fetch resources and include information of parent objects in the response. It works in a similar way to include, but the response only displays the requested fields rather than the entire resource.

For example, a response to /v3/service_instances/:guid?fields[space.organization]=name will contain detailed information about the service instance, as well as the name of the organization it belongs to.

Developers may choose to use the fields feature to reduce the number of API calls. The fields query param can be used with a single resource or a list of resources.

The fields query parameter may also grant visibility to parts of resources where the whole resource is not visible. For instance, the name of an organization may be retrieved with fields, where the whole organization resource may not be visible.

Fields parameter

The fields parameter is structured as: fields[resource]=keys&fields[parent.resource]=other,keys

For information on fields support for each resource refer to its documentation.

Resources with Fields

Resource Endpoint
Service Instances v3/service_instances, v3/service_instances/:guid
Shared Spaces /v3/service_instances/:guid/relationships/shared_spaces

            "name": "org2"
         }
      ]
   }
}

Filters

Endpoints which return lists of resources also support filtering the returned resources using query parameters. Each resource’s list endpoint documents the allowed filters for that endpoint. For details about the syntax of query parameters in general, see query parameters.

Examples

Single value request

GET /v3/apps?names=the_name

This will return all apps with name the_name.

Multiple value request

GET /v3/apps?names=first_name,second_name

This will return all apps with name the_name OR second_name.

In the case of audit events, multiple timestamps can be requested, which will return all audit events that occurred at those timestamps. In the following request, all audit events that occurred New Year’s just before midnight and July 4th at noon will be returned:

GET /v3/audit_events?created_ats=2019-12-31T23:59:59Z,2020-07-04T12:00:00Z

Exception

The label_selector query parameter will act as AND function, not an OR.

GET /v3/spaces?label_selector=production,east_coast

This will return all spaces whose metadata has labels with keys production AND east_coast.

Combined filters

GET /v3/apps?names=the_name&stacks=cflinuxfs4

This will return all apps with name the_name AND stack cflinuxfs4.

Empty filters

An empty filter (/v3/resources?fields=) can mean either empty string ("") or NULL, depending on the resource type.

GET /v3/buildpacks?stacks=

This will return all buildpacks with stack NULL.

GET /v3/routes?hosts=hostname1,,hostname2

This will return all routes with hostname "hostname1", "" OR "hostname2".

Relational Operators

Some fields (e.g. created_at and updated_at) can be filtered using relational operators when listing resources.

For example, a response to GET /v3/audit_events?created_ats[lt]=2020-06-30T12:34:56Z will contain audit events with a created_at timestamp strictly earlier than 2020-06-30T12:34:56Z.

Multiple relational operators can be combined to further refine the listed resources. For example, a response to GET /v3/audit_events?created_ats[lt]=2020-01-02T00:00:00Z&created_ats[gt]=2019-12-31T23:59:59Z will return all audit events occurring on New Year’s Day.

Timestamps must be in standard timestamp format.

Valid relational operators
Operator Description
lt Return resources strictly less than the given value for the filtered attribute
lte Return resources less than or equal to the given value for the filtered attribute
gt Return resources strictly greater than the given value for the filtered attribute
gte Return resources greater than or equal to the given value for the filtered attribute

Exclusion Operator

Some fields support filtering on all values except a given set of values.

For example, a response to GET /v3/audit_events?target_guids[not]=guid-1,guid-2 will contain audit events with a target.guid not equal to guid-1 nor guid-2.

Operator Description
not Return resources not equal to the given value(s) for the filtered attribute

Include

The include parameter allows clients to fetch resources and include information of parent objects in the response. For example, a response to /v3/spaces/:guid?include=organization will contain detailed information about the space and its parent organization.

Developers may choose to use the include feature to reduce the number of API calls. The include query param can be used with a single resource or a list of resources.

Resources with includes

The following resources can take an include parameter:

Resource Allowed values
apps space.organization, space
apps/[:guid] space.organization, space
roles user, space, organization
roles/[:guid] user, space, organization
routes domain, space.organization, space
routes/[:guid] domain, space.organization, space
service_plans space.organization, service_offering
service_plans/[:guid] space.organization, service_offering
service_credential_bindings app, service_instance
service_credential_bindings/[:guid] app, service_instance
service_route_bindings route, service_instance
service_route_bindings/[:guid] route, service_instance
spaces organization
spaces/[:guid] organization

         }
      ]
   }
}

Lifecycles

Lifecycles inform the platform of how to build droplets and run apps. For example, a docker lifecycle will pull a Docker image from a registry to run an app.

The lifecycle object

Name Type Description
type string Type of the lifecycle; valid values are buildpack, cnb, docker
data object Data that is used during staging and running for a lifecycle

Buildpack lifecycle

Example Buildpack Lifecycle
{
  "type": "buildpack",
  "data": {
    "buildpacks": ["java_buildpack"],
    "stack": "cflinuxfs4"
  }
}

This is the default lifecycle for Cloud Foundry for VMs. When staging an app with this lifecycle, the app source code will be compiled using a buildpack, resulting in a droplet. When running an app with this lifecycle, a container running a rootfs will be created and the droplet will be expanded inside that container to be executed.

If buildpacks are not specified, then Cloud Foundry will automatically detect a compatible buildpack, based on the files in an app’s package. If a stack is not specified, then the app will default to the operator-configured default stack.

Buildpack lifecycle object

Name Type Description
type string buildpack
data.buildpacks list of strings A list of the names of buildpacks, URLs from which they may be downloaded, or null to auto-detect a suitable buildpack during staging
data.stack string The root filesystem to use with the buildpack, for example cflinuxfs4

Cloud Native Buildpacks Lifecycle (experimental)

Example Cloud Native Buildpacks lifecycle
{
  "type": "cnb",
  "data": {
        "buildpacks": [
            "docker://example.org/java-buildpack:latest"
            "docker://second-example.org/logging-buildpack:latest"
        ],
        "stack": "cflinuxfs4",
        "credentials": {
            "example.org": {
                "username": "user",
                "password": "****"
            },
            "second-example.org": {
                "token": "****"
            },
        }
  }
}

This lifecycle allows Cloud Foundry to stage an application using the Cloud Native Buildpacks.

Note: the data.buildpacks field is required (at least 1 buildpack must be set).

Cloud Native Buildpacks lifecycle object

Name Type Description
type string cnb
data.buildpacks list of strings A list of URLs with either docker:// or http(s):// scheme, pointing to the Cloud Native Buildpack OCI image.
When the scheme is http(s)://, an OCI tarball is expected to be present at the specified location.
data.credentials object Credentials used to download the configured buildpacks. This can either contain username/password or a token.
data.stack string The root filesystem to use with the buildpack, for example cflinuxfs4

Docker lifecycle

Example Docker Lifecycle
{
  "type": "docker",
  "data": {}
}

This allows Cloud Foundry to run pre-built Docker images. When staging an app with this lifecycle, the Docker registry is queried for metadata about the image, such as ports and start command. When running an app with this lifecycle, a container is created and the Docker image is executed inside of it.

Docker lifecycle object

Name Type Description
type string docker
data object Data is not used by the Docker lifecycle; valid value is {}

Metadata

Metadata allows you to tag API resources with information that does not directly affect its functionality.

Annotations

Example Resource with Annotations
{
  "guid": "fd35633f-5c5c-4e4e-a5a9-0722c970a9d2",
  "created_at": "2016-03-18T23:26:46Z",
  "updated_at": "2016-10-17T20:00:42Z",
  "name": "api-server",
  "metadata": {
    "labels": {},
    "annotations": {
      "contacts": "Bill tel(1111111) email(bill@fixme), Bob tel(222222) pager(3333333#555) email(bob@fixme)"
    }
  },
  "links": {
    "self": {
      "href": "https://api.example.org/v3/apps/fd35633f-5c5c-4e4e-a5a9-0722c970a9d2"
    }
  }
}

Annotations are user-specified key-value pairs that are attached to API resources. They do not affect the operation of Cloud Foundry. Annotations cannot be used in filters.

When a service instance is being created, the service broker is sent the annotations of the service instance, and the space and organization in which the service instance resides. When a service instance is being updated, the service broker is sent the annotations of the space and organization in which the service instance resides. When a service binding is being created, the service broker is sent annotations of any associated app, and the space and organization in which the binding resides. Only annotations with a prefix (e.g. company.com/contacts) are sent to service brokers.

Examples may include (but are not limited to):

Annotation keys

Annotation keys are made up of an (optional) prefix and name. If a prefix is present, it is separated from the name by a /. Prefixes are DNS names intended to enable namespacing of annotation keys.

An annotation key prefix must adhere to the following restrictions:

An annotation key name must adhere to the following restrictions:

Annotation values

Annotation values must adhere to the following restrictions:

Labels and selectors

Example Resource with Labels
{
  "guid": "fd35633f-5c5c-4e4e-a5a9-0722c970a9d2",
  "created_at": "2016-03-18T23:26:46Z",
  "updated_at": "2016-10-17T20:00:42Z",
  "name": "api-server",
  "metadata": {
    "labels": {
      "environment": "production",
      "internet-facing": "false"
    },
    "annotations": {}
  },
  "links": {
    "self": {
      "href": "https://api.example.org/v3/apps/fd35633f-5c5c-4e4e-a5a9-0722c970a9d2"
    }
  }
}

Labels are user-specified key/value pairs that are attached to API Resources. They are queryable, identifying attributes of a resource, but they do not affect the operation of CloudFoundry.

For example, an app may be assigned a label with key sensitive and possible values true or false.

Users could then find all sensitive apps with a selector for sensitive=true, resulting in a response containing only apps having the label key sensitive with a label value of true.

Labels

Labels allow users to apply identifying attributes to resources that are meaningful to the user, but not the CloudFoundry system.

Examples may include (but are not limited to):

Label keys

Label keys are made up of an (optional) prefix, and name. If a prefix is present, it is separated from the name by a /. Prefixes are dns names intended to enable namespacing of label keys.

A label key prefix must adhere to the following restrictions:

A label key name must adhere to the following restrictions:

Label values

Label values must adhere to the following restrictions:

Selectors

Example label selector
cf curl /v3/apps?label_selector=env=dev,%21chargeback-code,tier%20in%20%28backend,worker%29

Selectors allow users to filter and group API resources by the labels applied to them. A selector consists of one or more requirements in a comma-delimited list. The maximum number of requirements in a single selector is 50.

eg: env=dev,!chargeback-code,tier in (backend,worker)

Selectors can be used to filter and group resources using the query parameter label_selector on list endpoints.

A requirement consists of a key, an operator, and optional value(s).

Requirement Format Description
existence key Returns all resources that have been assigned a label with the given key (with any value)
non-existence !key Returns all resources that have not been assigned a label with the given key (with any value)
equality key=value or key==value Returns all resources that have been assigned a label with the given key and value
inequality key!=value Returns all resources that either have not been assigned a label with the given key or have a label with the given key but a different value
set inclusion key in (value1,value2…) Returns all resources that have been assigned a label with the given key with one of the specified value(s)
set exclusion key notin (value1,value2…) Returns all resources that either have not been assigned a label with the given key or have a label with the given key but none of the specified value(s)

See the metadata documentation for more information.

Updating labels and annotations

Example Initial Metadata
{
  "metadata": {
    "labels": {
      "environment": "staging",
      "ready-to-deploy": "true"
    },
    "annotations": {
       "spring-version": "5.1",
       "app-version": "0.1-alpha"
     }
  }
}
Example Patch Request Body
{
  "metadata": {
    "labels": {
      "environment": "production",
      "ready-to-deploy": null
    },
    "annotations": {
       "app-version": "0.1",
       "deployed-month": "november"
     }
  }
}
Example Final Metadata
{
  "metadata": {
    "labels": {
      "environment": "production"
    },
    "annotations": {
       "spring-version": "5.1",
       "app-version": "0.1",
       "deployed-month": "november"
     }
  }
}

Labels and annotations can be updated by using the PATCH endpoint for their resource. For example, to update labels or annotations on an app, use the update an app endpoint. When patching metadata, CAPI endpoints do a deep merge, only updating labels or annotations that are specified in the request.

Labels and annotations follow the same rules for patching and must be wrapped in the metadata object inside the request body

Pagination

Example Paginated Response
{
  "pagination": {
    "total_results": 3,
    "total_pages": 3,
    "first": {
      "href": "https://api.example.org/v3/people?page=1&per_page=1"
    },
    "last": {
      "href": "https://api.example.org/v3/people?page=3&per_page=1"
    },
    "next": {
      "href": "https://api.example.org/v3/people?page=2&per_page=1"
    },

}

Any request that can return multiple resources will be paginated and contain a pagination object and list of resources. Requests for multiple resources can use page, per_page, and order_by in addition to filters specific to the endpoint.

The pagination object

Name Type Description
total_results integer Total number of resources for all pages
total_pages integer Total number of pages
first link object Link to the first page
last link object Link to the last page
next link object Link to the next page
previous link object Link to the previous page

Procfiles

Example Ruby Procfile
web: bundle exec rackup config.ru -p $PORT
rake: bundle exec rake
worker: bundle exec rake workers:start

A Procfile enables you to declare required runtime processes, called process types, for your app. Procfiles must be named Procfile exactly and placed in the root directory of your application.

In a Procfile, you declare one process type per line and use the syntax PROCESS_TYPE: COMMAND.

Procfile use cases

Many buildpacks provide their own process types and commands by default; however, there are special cases where specifying a custom COMMAND is necessary. Commands can be overwritten by providing a Procfile with the same process type.

For example, a buildpack may provide a worker process type that runs the rake default:start command. If a Procfile is provided that also contains a worker process type, but a different command such as rake custom:start, the rake custom:start command will be used.

Some buildpacks, such as Python, that work on a variety of frameworks, do not attempt to provide a default start command. For these cases, a Procfile should be used to specify any necessary commands for the app.

Web process

web is a special process type that is required for all applications. The web PROCESS_TYPE must be specified by either the buildpack or the Procfile.

Specifying processes in manifest files

Custom process types can also be configured via a manifest file. Read more about manifests. It is not recommended to specify processes in both a manifest and a Procfile for the same app.

Query Parameters

Clients can assume that query parameters on the API will always follow these rules:

Because commas are used to separate list entries, parameter values that contain commas must be percent-encoded. For example, to retrieve apps named either a,b or c,d, the query parameter would look like names=a%2Cb,c%2Cd. Note that the commas within the app names are encoded (as %2C), but the comma separating the two app names is not. The resulting query parameter must be encoded a second time before sending it to the API, e.g. cf curl /v3/apps?names=a%252Cb,c%252Cd.

Relationships

Relationships represent associations between resources. When relationships are mutable, they can be used to create, read, update, and delete these associations. An app’s relationship to its current droplet is mutable, but an app’s relationship to its space is not.

Relationships do not affect the fundamental properties of a resource, but may affect their behavior and permissions logic. Relationships are tied to the lifecycles of the associated resources and will be removed if either of the associated resources are deleted. For example, if a user is removed from an organization, both the user and the organization persist, but the relationship between them does not.

Not all resources implement every relationship operation demonstrated in the examples below. See the docs for each resource to see how it interacts with its relationships.

Endpoints that return relationship data list this information under the relationships key.

The relationship object

The relationship object is a key-value pair that uniquely identifies a resource. In practice this is almost always the guid of a resource.

Name Type Description
guid string The unique identifier for the related resource

To-one relationships

Example to-one relationship
{
  "data": {
    "guid": "[related-resource-guid]"
  }
}

Some relationships relate a resource to exactly one other resource. For example an app can belong to only one space.

To-one relationship object

Name Type Description
data relationship object A single relationship

Example to-many relationship
{
  "data": [
    { "guid": "[related-resource-guid-1]" },
    { "guid": "[related-resource-guid-2]" }
  ]
}

Some relationships relate a resource to several other resources. For example, an isolation segment can be entitled to multiple organizations.

Status Codes

Cloud Foundry V3 API uses a subset of HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general, codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that can potentially be fixed by correcting the request, and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error on the server side.

HTTP Status Code Description
200 OK The request completed successfully
201 Created The request completed successfully and created a new resource
202 Accepted The request will be completed asynchronously; see asynchronous operations
204 No Content The request completed successfully and did not return a body
400 Bad Request The request has malformed or invalid data
401 Unauthenticated The request requires an authenticated user
403 Forbidden The request cannot be performed by the user
404 Not Found The requested resource does not exist
422 Unprocessable Entity The request cannot be performed
500 Internal Server Error An unexpected error occurred
502 Bad Gateway An external upstream service caused the request to fail
503 Service Unavailable An internal upstream service caused the request to fail

Timestamps

Timestamps generally appear in created_at and updated_at fields on resources. Precision beyond seconds is not supported, even if the underlying database supports it (e.g. Postgres). As a result, filtering on sub-second timestamps is not allowed.

All v3 timestamps have the following format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ.

Example timestamp (June 30, 2020 at 11:49:04 PM UTC): 2020-06-30T23:49:04Z

Updating Actual State

The Cloud Controller is primarily responsible for the desired state of apps and processes. Most endpoints will only update the desired states of your apps and processes within Cloud Controller in order to provide users with the opportunity to incur zero downtime when updating apps. Restarting the app will be required for the desired state changes to become the actual state.

The stats endpoint can be used at any time to determine the actual (running) state of a process, and by proxy, an app.

Endpoints that will affect runtime

The following endpoints will immediately impact the runtime of the app, and the desired changes will take effect without needing to restart the app.

Endpoint
PATCH /v3/spaces/:guid/features/ssh
DELETE /v3/routes/:guid/destinations/:destination_guid

The following endpoints will immediately impact runtime and take effect when only the instances field is updated. If any other fields are updated, the app will need to be restarted in order for any desired changes to take effect, including instance count changes.

Endpoint
POST /v3/processes/:guid/actions/scale
POST /v3/apps/:guid/processes/:type/actions/scale

The following endpoints will immediately impact runtime and the desired changes will take effect if the specified fields are not included in the request.

If the field is specified, the app will need to be restarted in order for any desired changes to take effect.

Endpoint Changes requiring a restart
POST /v3/routes/:guid/destinations Adding a destination with a port
PATCH /v3/routes/:guid/destinations Replacing the port field

Note: If the port is specified, this endpoint will unmap any route not listed in the body but will not map any of the new routes in the request body. For this reason we caution against using the endpoint in most circumstances. A combination of adding ports and removing ports will better fit most use cases.

All other changes will not take effect on running apps until they are restarted.

Warnings

Example Warnings
{
  "warnings": [
    {
      "detail": "something went wrong"
    }
  ]
}

Warnings appear on the job resource.

Admin

These endpoints are only for admin users.

Clear buildpack cache

Example Request
curl "https://api.example.org/v3/admin/actions/clear_buildpack_cache" \
  -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: bearer [token]"
Example Response
HTTP/1.1 202 Accepted
Location: https://api.example.org/v3/jobs/[guid]

This endpoint will delete all of the existing buildpack caches in the blobstore. The buildpack cache is used during staging by buildpacks as a way to cache certain resources, e.g. downloaded Ruby gems. An admin who wants to decrease the size of their blobstore could use this endpoint to delete unnecessary blobs.

Builds

Builds represent the process of staging an application package. There are two types (lifecycles) of builds: buildpack and docker.

After an application is created and packages are uploaded, a build resource can be created to initiate the staging process. A successful build results in a droplet.

Buildpacks

Buildpacks are used during a build to download external dependencies and transform a package into an executable droplet. In this way, buildpacks are a pluggable extension to Cloud Foundry that enable CF to run different languages and frameworks. Buildpacks will automatically detect if they support an application. Buildpacks can also be explicitly specified on apps and builds.

Domains

Domains represent a fully qualified domain name that is used for application routes.

A domain can be scoped to an organization, meaning it can be used to create routes for spaces inside that organization, or be left unscoped to allow all organizations access.

Droplets

Droplets are the result of staging an application package. There are two types (lifecycles) of droplets: buildpack and docker. In the case of the buildpacks, the droplet contains the bits produced by the buildpack, typically application code and dependencies.

After an application is created and packages are uploaded, a droplet must be created via a build in order for an application to be deployed or tasks to be run. The current droplet must be assigned to an application before it may be started. When tasks are created, they either use a specific droplet guid, or use the current droplet assigned to an application.

The droplet object

Download droplet bits

Example Request
curl "https://api.example.org/v3/droplets/[guid]/download" \
  -X GET \
  -H "Authorization: bearer [token]" \
Example Response
HTTP/1.1 302 FOUND
Content-Type: application/json

Download a gzip compressed tarball file containing a Cloud Foundry compatible droplet. When using a remote blobstore, such as AWS, the response is a redirect to the actual location of the bits. If the client is automatically following redirects, then the OAuth token that was used to communicate with Cloud Controller will be relayed on the new redirect request. Some blobstores may reject the request in that case. Clients may need to follow the redirect without including the OAuth token.

Only droplets that are in the STAGED state and have lifecycle type buildpack can be downloaded.

Environment Variable Groups

There are two types of environment variable groups: running and staging. They are designed to allow platform operators/admins to manage environment variables across all apps in a foundation.

Variables in a running environment variable group will be injected into all running app containers.

Variables in a staging environment variable group will be injected into the staging container for all apps while they are being staged.

The environment variable group object

Example environment variable group object
{
  "updated_at": "2016-05-04T17:00:41Z",
  "name": "running",
  "var": {
    "foo": "bar"
  },
  "links": {
    "self": {
      "href": "https://api.example.org/v3/environment_variable_groups/running"
    }
  }
}

Name Type Description
updated_at string The time of last update
name string The name of the group; can only be running or staging
var object Environment variables to inject; keys and values must be strings
links links object Links to related resources

Space-level configuration

Name Type Description
applications array of app configurations Configurations for apps in the space
version integer The manifest schema version; currently the only valid version is 1, defaults to 1 if not provided

App-level configuration

This configuration is specified per application and applies to all of the application’s processes.

Name Type Description
name string Name of the app
lifecycle string Type of the lifecycle; valid values are buildpack, cnb, docker. Defaults to buildpack, unless the docker property is present.
buildpacks list of strings a) An empty array, which will automatically select the appropriate default buildpack according to the coding language (incompatible with lifecycle: cnb)
b) An array of one or more URLs pointing to buildpacks
c) An array of one or more installed buildpack names
Replaces the legacy buildpack field
docker object If present, the created app will have Docker lifecycle type; the value of this key is ignored by the API but may be used by clients to source the registry address of the image and credentials, if needed; the generate manifest endpoint will return the registry address of the image and username provided with this key
env object A key-value mapping of environment variables to be used for the app when running
no-route boolean When set to true, any routes specified with the routes attribute will be ignored and any existing routes will be removed
processes array of process configurations List of configurations for individual process types
random-route boolean Creates a random route for the app if true; if routes is specified, if the app already has routes, or if no-route is specified, this field is ignored regardless of its value
default-route boolean If true, a route for the app will be created using the app name as the hostname and the containing organization’s default domain as the domain; if routes is specified, if the app already has routes, or if no-route is specified, this field is ignored regardless of its value
routes array of route configurations List declaring HTTP and TCP routes to be mapped to the app.
services array of service configurations A list of service-instances to bind to the app
sidecars array of sidecar configurations A list of configurations for individual sidecars
stack string The root filesystem to use with the buildpack, for example cflinuxfs4
metadata.labels label object Labels applied to the app
metadata.annotations annotation object Annotations applied to the app
buildpack string DEPRECATED in favor of the buildpacks field above

Process-level configuration

This configuration is for the individual process. Each process is created if it does not already exist.

For backwards compatibility, the web process configuration may be placed at the top level of the application configuration, rather than listed under processes. However, if there is a process with type: web listed under processes, this configuration will override any at the top level.

Name Type Description
type string (Required) The identifier for the processes to be configured
command string The command used to start the process; this overrides start commands from Procfiles and buildpacks
disk_quota string The disk limit for all instances of the web process;
this attribute requires a unit of measurement: B, K, KB, M, MB, G, GB, T, or TB in upper case or lower case
health-check-http-endpoint string Endpoint called to determine if the app is healthy
health-check-invocation-timeout integer The timeout in seconds for individual health check requests for http and port health checks
health-check-type string Type of health check to perform; none is deprecated and an alias to process
instances integer The number of instances to run
memory string The memory limit for all instances of the web process;
this attribute requires a unit of measurement: B, K, KB, M, MB, G, GB, T, or TB in upper case or lower case
log-rate-limit-per-second string The log rate limit for all the instances of the process;
this attribute requires a unit of measurement: B, K, KB, M, MB, G, GB, T, or TB in upper case or lower case, or -1 or 0
timeout integer Time in seconds at which the health-check will report failure

Route-level configuration

This configuration is for creating mappings between the app and a route. Each route is created if it does not already exist. The protocol will be updated for any existing route mapping.

Name Type Description
route string (Required) The route URI. Example: host.domain.com
protocol string Protocol to use for this route. Valid protocols are http1, http2, and tcp.

Service-level configuration

This configuration is creating new service bindings between the app and a service instance. The services field can take either an array of service instance name strings or an array of the following service-level fields.

Name Type Description
name string (Required) The name of the service instance to be bound to
binding_name string The name of the service binding to be created
parameters object A map of arbitrary key/value pairs to send to the service broker during binding

Sidecar-level configuration

This configuration is for the individual sidecar. Each sidecar is created if it does not already exist.

Name Type Description
name string (Required) The identifier for the sidecars to be configured
command string The command used to start the sidecar
process_types list of strings List of processes to associate sidecar with
memory integer Memory in MB that the sidecar will be allocated

Organization Quotas

Organization quotas are named sets of memory, log rate, service, and instance usage quotas. For example, one organization quota might allow up to 10 services, 10 routes, and 2 GB of RAM, while another might offer 100 services, 100 routes, and 10 GB of RAM.

An organization has exactly one organization quota. If not specifically assigned a quota, it will have the default quota.

For more information, see the Cloud Foundry docs.

Download package bits

Example Request
curl "https://api.example.org/v3/packages/[guid]/download" \
  -X GET \
  -H "Authorization: bearer [token]"
Example Response
HTTP/1.1 302 Found

You are being redirected.

This endpoint downloads the bits of an existing package.

When using a remote blobstore, such as AWS, the response is a redirect to the actual location of the bits. If the client is automatically following redirects, then the OAuth token that was used to communicate with Cloud Controller will be replayed on the new redirect request. Some blobstores may reject the request in that case. Clients may need to follow the redirect without including the OAuth token.

usage.time timestamp The time when the usage was requested
usage.cpu number The current cpu usage of the instance
usage.mem integer The current memory usage of the instance
usage.disk integer The current disk usage of the instance
usage.log_rate integer The current logging usage of the instance
host string The host the instance is running on
instance_internal_ip string The internal IP address of the instance
instance_ports object JSON array of port mappings between the network-exposed port used to communicate with the app (external) and port opened to the running process that it can listen on (internal)
uptime integer The uptime in seconds for the instance
mem_quota integer The current maximum memory allocated for the instance; the value is null when memory quota data is unavailable
disk_quota integer The current maximum disk allocated for the instance; the value is null when disk quota data is unavailable
log_rate_limit integer The current maximum log rate allocated for the instance; the value -1 is unlimited, the value is null when the log_rate_limit is unavailable
fds_quota integer The maximum file descriptors the instance is allowed to use
