Katello API bindings for Ruby¶ ↑

                                              :username => 'admin',
                                              :password => 'admin')

pp raw_response # raw string of the response body

This gem contains Katello API bindings for the Ruby language. The bindings are generated from API documentation using Apidoc tool.

The bindings brings support for new versioned API which is not complete yet. The number of supported controllers is limited but more are coming soon.

The code for generating the bindings is a part of this repo. The generator needs a running Foreman instance with Katello as and engine to load the ‘apidoc.json`.

In case the ‘/apidoc` reports some issues with loading modules, you can temporarily commenting out the following line in Foreman’s ‘config/initializers/wrap_parameters.rb` file:

wrap_parameters :format => [:json]

Usage:

$ bin/generate.rb --help
Generate Ruby API bindings for Katello's API from Apipie docs.

USAGE: bin/generate.rb [FLAGS]
    -u, --url APIDOC_URL             By default http://localhost:3000/apidoc
        --api-version VERSION        version of the API to hit (default: v2)

Only files under lib/katello_api/resources are touched by the generator.

Katello API supports authentication with username/password or OAuth. For use of OAuth with the bindings you only have to change the params

envs = KatelloApi::Resources::Environment.new(:base_url => 'https://localhost:3000/katello',
                                              :oauth    => { :consumer_key    => 'mykey',
                                                             :consumer_secret => 'shhhh' })
