api-get¶

rbt api-get will request the API resource found at the provided <path> and display it as JSON.

Paths will be appended to the root of the API to generate a URL. For example, the /review-requests/123/ path would result in a request to http://example.com/api/review-requests/123/.

The path may also be replaced by a full URL. If rbt api-get detects the path begins with http:// or https://, it will treat the path itself as the request URL.

Query arguments may also be specified for the request. Each query argument takes the form of --<query-arg>=<value>. For example:

$ # Make a request to http://example.com/api/review-requests/?counts-only=1
$ rbt api-get /review-requests/ --counts-only=1

Usage¶

$ rbt api-get [options] <path> [--<query-arg>=<value> ...]
