The Governance REST API is one of many APIs supported by WSO2 Governance Registry. Read more on Supported APIs and Standards for a complete list of APIs supported by WSO2 Governance Registry.

...

Info
At the moment REST API only supports configurable governance artifacts. Support for Content artifacts such as WSDL and Policy are limited. Future versions of REST API will equally support both types of artifacts.

You must send valid HTTP BasicAuth credentials when invoking the REST API.

See the sections below for information relating to invoking the REST API after generating the access token and some sample requests and complete URI formats:

GET /governance/<asset_short_name_s>?query

Warning
WSO2 G-Reg does not support date range searches in Governance REST API.

Query Descriptions

xyz

Looks for artifacts with name 'xyz'.

Info

You can give only the value like above or give the field name and the value in a key-value pair for fields of the Overview table in the asset RXT file. (e.g. name=xyz)
However, to find assets with a specific value for a field in a table other than the Overview table, the search query should be:
encode(table_name:field_name)=encode(value)
For example, if the table is docLinks, the field is documentType and the value is 'the rest1'. The final URI query parameter should be: docLinks%3AdocumentType=the%20rest1
If you have spaces or any special characters such as underscore or slash in the key of the key-value pair of your query URL, you need to encode it using a URL encoder.

xyz&version=1.3.5 Looks for artifacts with name 'xyz' and version 1.3.5.

tags=abc Searches artifacts with tag 'abc'.

lcState=development&lcName=ServiceLifeCycle Searches artifacts with an associated life cycle name ServiceLifeCycle with state 'development'.

country=usa Looks for all the artifacts having attribute country with value 'usa'. This internally handles whether country is an RXT attribute or a property.

version=1.3.5&mediaType=application/vnd.wso2-soap-service+xml Searches only soap services with version 1.3.5.
