The Governance REST API is an API that is supported by WSO2 Governance Registry. The Governance REST API uses the GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE operations of the well-defined HTTP protocol to perform CRUD operations on the governance registry. You can use any REST client to send API requests, such as Google Chrome's Advanced REST client.
At the moment REST API only supports configurable governance artifacts and has limited support for Content artifacts such as WSDL and Policy.
You must send valid HTTP BasicAuth credentials when invoking the REST API as shown below.
Following sections include information on sample requests and complete URI formats used when invoking the REST APIs after generating the access token:
Assets
Get a list of available artifact types
Syntax | GET /governance/types/ |

Syntax GET /governance/<asset_short_name_s>/UUID Example GET https://localhost:9443 /governance/restservices/3245se24553 Sample cURL Command curl -X GET -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" "https://localhost:9443/governance/restservices/cae93ba9-9543-43be-9f30-bb96cec3c443" -i
- Create a new asset
Syntax POST /governance/<asset_short_name_s> <payload> Example Here the payload should be in JSON format. Following are the required attributes. - name
- version
- type
Payload format is as follows:
{ name: "Artifact Name", type: "Artifact Type", version: “Version Number", Attribute-N: “Attribute-N” value }
For example;
POST https://localhost:9443 /governance/restservices { name: "TestRESTService", type: "restservice", context: "/test", version: "1.0.0" }
Sample cURL Command curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -d '{
"name":"TestRESTService",
"type":"restservice",
"context":"/test",
"version":"1.0.0"
Response If the artifact creation is successful, the server will return HTTP 200 code along with the “location” header pointing to the newly created artifact. If there is an issue creating a new artifact, it will return an appropriate error code.
For example, the above example may return the following:
HTTP 200
Location: https://localhost:9443/governance/restservices/3ec1dcd9-66d8-41da-a0d2-ec171df64cc3
