API

Starting from RhodeCode version 1.2 a simple API was implemented. There's one schema for calling all api methods. API is implemented with JSON protocol both ways.

Clients need to send JSON data in such format:

{
    "api_key":"<api_key>",
    "method":"<method_name>",
    "args":{"<arg_key>":"<arg_val>"}
}

Simply provide api_key for access and permission validation method is name of method to call and args is an key:value list of arguments to pass to method

And will receive JSON formatted answer:

{
    "result": "<result>",
    "error": null
}

All responses from API will be HTTP/1.0 200 OK, if there's an error while calling api error key from response will contain failure description and result will be null.

method: "pull"
args: {"repo":<repo_name>}
