Introduction

Docker Cloud currently offers a HTTP REST API and a Websocket Stream API which are used by both the Web UI and the CLI. This API documentation contains all API operations currently supported in the platform and provides examples of how to execute them using our Command Line Interface (CLI), Python SDK and Go SDK.

Authentication

In order to be able to make requests to the Docker Cloud API, you should first obtain an ApiKey for your account. For this, log into Docker Cloud, click on the menu on the upper right corner of the screen, select Account info and then select API keys.

REST API

import dockercloud
dockercloud.user = "username"
dockercloud.apikey = "apikey"
import "github.com/docker/go-dockercloud/dockercloud"

dockercloud.User = "username"
dockercloud.ApiKey = "apikey"
GET /api/app/v1/service/ HTTP/1.1
Host: cloud.docker.com
Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6YXBpa2V5
Accept: application/json
export DOCKERCLOUD_USER=username
export DOCKERCLOUD_APIKEY=apikey

Make sure to replace username with your username and apikey with your API key.

The Docker Cloud REST API is reachable through the following hostname:

https://cloud.docker.com/

All requests should be sent to this endpoint using Basic authentication using your API key as password:

Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6YXBpa2V5

HTTP responses are given in JSON format, so the following Accept header is required for every API call:

Accept: application/json

Namespaced endpoints

Endpoints that are labeled as “namespaced” allow the users to operate over different namespaces, for example over an individual user namespace, or the namespace of an organization the user is a member of. A namespace identifies the owner of the resource.

The namespace is optional. If left blank, it defaults to the authenticated user in the request. The namespace is set before the resource in the URL schema: https://cloud.docker.com/api/<subsystem>/<version>/(optional_namespace/)<resource>/

Examples:

Namespaced endpoints in the docker-cloud CLI

If you are using namespaces with the docker-cloud CLI, set them by changing the value of the DOCKERCLOUD_NAMESPACE environment variable. You can either set this globally, or specify it before each CLI command. To learn more, see the Docker Cloud CLI README.

Stream API

import websocket
import base64

header = "Authorization: Basic %s" % base64.b64encode("%s:%s" % (username, password))
ws = websocket.WebSocketApp('wss://ws.cloud.docker.com/v1/events', header=[header])
import "github.com/gorilla/websocket"
import "encoding/base64"

var StreamUrl = "wss://ws.cloud.docker.com:443/v1/events"

sEnc := base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString([]byte(User + ":" + ApiKey))
header := http.Header{}
header.Add("Authorization", fmt.Sprintf("Basic %s", sEnc))

var Dialer websocket.Dialer
ws, _, err := Dialer.Dial(url, header)
if err != nil {
    log.Println(err)
}
GET /api/audit/v1/events HTTP/1.1
Host: ws.cloud.docker.com
Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6YXBpa2V5
Connection: Upgrade
Upgrade: websocket
export DOCKERCLOUD_USER=username
export DOCKERCLOUD_APIKEY=apikey

Make sure to replace username with your username and apikey with your API key.

The Docker Cloud Stream API is reachable through the following hostname:

wss://ws.cloud.docker.com/

The Stream API requires the same authentication mechanism as the REST API:

Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6YXBpa2V5

API roles

The CLI and the SDKs will detect this environment variable and automatically use it

If you give an API role to a container, the environment variable DOCKERCLOUD_AUTH inside the container will have the contents of the Authorization header that you can use to authenticate against the REST or Stream APIs:

curl -H "Authorization: $DOCKERCLOUD_AUTH" https://cloud.docker.com/api/app/v1/service/

Actions

Action

Example

{
    "action": "Cluster Create",
    "end_date": "Wed, 17 Sep 2014 08:26:22 +0000",
    "ip": "56.78.90.12",
    "is_user_action": true,
    "can_be_canceled": false,
    "location": "New York, USA",
    "method": "POST",
    "object": "/api/infra/v1/user_namespace/cluster/eea638f4-b77a-4183-b241-22dbd7866f22/",
    "path": "/api/infra/v1/user_namespace/cluster/",
    "resource_uri": "/api/audit/v1/action/6246c558-976c-4df6-ba60-eb1a344a17af/",
    "start_date": "Wed, 17 Sep 2014 08:26:22 +0000",
    "state": "Success",
    "user": "user_namespace",
    "user_agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_4) AppleWebKit/537.78.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/7.0.6 Safari/537.78.2",
    "uuid": "6246c558-976c-4df6-ba60-eb1a344a17af"
}

An action represents an API call by a user. Details of the API call such as timestamp, origin IP address, and user agent are logged in the action object.

Simple API calls that do not require asynchronous execution will return immediately with the appropiate HTTP error code and an action object will be created either in Success or Failed states. API calls that do require asynchronous execution will return HTTP code 202 Accepted immediately and create an action object in In progress state, which will change to Success or Failed state depending on the outcome of the operation being performed. In both cases the response will include a X-DockerCloud-Action-URI header with the resource URI of the created action.

}

Triggers are URLs that will start a redeploy of the service whenever a POST request is sent to them. They require no authorization headers, so they should be treated as access tokens. Triggers can be revoked if they are leaked or no longer used for security purposes. See Triggers for more information.

This is a namespaced endpoint.

Attributes

Attribute Description
url Address to be used to call the trigger with a POST request
name A user provided name for the trigger
operation The operation that the trigger call performs (see table Operations below)
resource_uri A unique API endpoint that represents the trigger

Operations

Operation Description
REDEPLOY Performs a redeploy service operation.
SCALEUP Performs a scale up service operation.
