Sample ReST API Calls on Linux
In order to make ReST API calls on Linux, you may need to convert your ECA certificate (p12 or pfx file) to a PEM file with a private key. Here are instructions for doing that using openssl:
openssl pkcs12 -in certfile.pfx -clcerts -nokeys -out certfile.crtopenssl pkcs12 -in certfile.pfx -nocerts -out certfile.keyopenssl rsa -in certfile.key -out certfile.decrypted.key
Another example for using openssl to convert your ECA certificate PFX file to a passwordless PEM:
openssl pkcs12 -in certfile.pfx -out certfile.pem -nodes
Convert the passwordless pem to a new PFX file with password:
openssl pkcs12 -export -out certfile2.pfx -in certfile.pem
Get all the Available Deployment Runs:
curl -k --cert [PATH TO ECA CERT]:[ECA PASSWORD] --key [KEY FILE] -H token:[API TOKEN] -H "Accept: application/json" https://arcus-cloud.io/rest/api/drs?in_project=true\&search_type=SEARCH_AVAILABLE
Update the content on an asset:
curl -k -X POST --cert [PATH TO ECA CERT]:[ECA PASSWORD] --key [KEY FILE] -H token:[API TOKEN] -F "filename=${fileToUpdateName}" -F "file=@${filePath}/${fileToUpdateName}" https://arcus-cloud.io/rest/api/software/${assetToUpdate}/updatecontent
