NIFI : What is ID https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/rest-api/

[#1]

Hi all,

The rest API is not clear .. Can you tell me what is {id} ?

GET        /templates/{id}/download

                GET  /flow/process-groups/{id}

Where i can found the ID of templates, for flow ?

thanks

Every component in NiFi has a UUID. For process groups you can see the id in the left hand palette when it is selected, for templates the id should be in the table that lists the templates.

this ID ? it is not found ..

curl -H "Content-type: application/json" -X GET https://nifi001:9443/nifi-api/templates/f341121d-0158-1000-36c7-d322df44b3c1/download
Unable to locate template with id 'f341121d-0158-1000-36c7-d322df44b3c1'.

Oh right it doesn't show the id in the UI, you will have to first query for all of the templates using this call:

http://localhost:8080/nifi-api/flow/templates

Then you can find the id of the template you want.

Thanks Bryan 🙂

I found this REST API for Create Template but it is not clear how put "the name" of template ..

curl -H "Content-type: application/json" --cacert nifi-cert.pem --cert ./client.p12 -X POST https://nifi001:9443/nifi-api/process-groups/f706d939-0157-1000-9f32-971cfab12b7f/templates
