Calling REST API¶

The following document explains how to get the credentials required to call the Run:AI REST API

Create a Client Application¶

• Open the Run:AI Administrator User interface.
• Go to Application | Settings
• Create a new Application.
• Set the required roles:
  • Select Researcher to manipulate Jobs using the Researcher REST API. To provide access to a specific project, you will need to go to Application | Projects and provide access to specific projects.
  • Select Editor to manipulate Projects and Departments using the Administrator REST API.
  • Select Administrator to manipulate Users, Tenant Settings and Clusters using the Administrator REST API.
• Copy the <CLIENT-ID> and <CLIENT-SECRET> to be used below
• Copy the domain of the web page to be used as <COMPANY-URL> below. This can be app.run.ai for SaaS installation or a custom URL for Self-hosted installations

Request a Token¶

Use the above parameters to get a temporary token to access Run:AI.

Example POST to get token URL¶

curl --request POST 'https://<COMPANY-URL>/auth/realms/runai/protocol/openid-connect/token' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials' \
--data-urlencode 'scope=openid' \
--data-urlencode 'response_type=id_token' \
--data-urlencode 'client_id=<CLIENT-ID>' \
--data-urlencode 'client_secret=<CLIENT-SECRET>'

import http.client

conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("")
payload = "grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=<CLIENT_ID>&client_secret=<CLIENT_SECRET>"
headers = { 'content-type': "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" }
conn.request("POST", "/<COMPANY-URL>/oauth/token", payload, headers)

res = conn.getresponse()
data = res.read()
print(data.decode("utf-8"))

Response¶

If all goes well, you'll receive an HTTP 200 response with a payload containing access_token, token_type, and expires_in values:

{
  "access_token": "AyPrg....kjnG",
  "expires_in": 36000,
   ....
  "token_type": "bearer"
}

Call an API¶

To call your API from the M2M application, the application must pass the retrieved access_token as a Bearer token in the Authorization header of your HTTP request.

For example, if you have an Administrator role, you can get a list of clusters by running:

curl 'https://<COMPANY-URL>/v1/k8s/clusters' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS-TOKEN>' 

import http.client

conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("https://<COMPANY-URL>")
headers = {
    'content-type': "application/json",
    'authorization': "Bearer <ACCESS-TOKEN>"
    }
conn.request("GET", "/v1/k8s/clusters", headers=headers)

res = conn.getresponse()
data = res.read()

print(data.decode("utf-8"))

(replace <ACCESS-TOKEN> with the bearer token from above).
