Managed services Content APIs

The Managed services Content APIs manage cookbooks and roles in the pattern manager.

The Managed services Content APIs are used to list, update, and delete content on the pattern manager. The pattern manager interacts with the Chef server and software repository to manage cookbooks, recipes, and roles in your Content Runtime environment. When deploying a content runtime, you can install a new Chef server or bring your own; the pattern manager will interact with either. Managed services has a set of middleware cookbooks that can be loaded automatically when deploying the Content Runtime environment or can be loaded manually after the Content Runtime has been created. Load cookbooks, recipes, and roles from IBM, from your own repositories, or from Chef Supermarket.

Access to these APIs is granted with either the access token or the admin token. The access and admin tokens were specified when deploying the Content Runtime. Any API that accepts the access token also accepts the admin token. When using these APIs, the access or admin token must be specified with an authorization HTTP header. For example,

# curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" https://pattern_manager:5443/v1/info/chef
