Additionally, it is the entry point for the App Manager API. Because of that, it has an additional msg property with a greeting string (including the API Server version number).

Possible Actions

Read

To read a single App Resource, clients may perform GET on a ec:app relation.

To read the App List Resource, clients may perform GET on a ec:apps relation or on the collection relation of a single App resource.

In both cases, the success status code is 200 OK.

Create

To create a new App Resource, clients may perform a POST on ec:apps (the list resource). The JSON Schema for creating a new App is https://schema.entrecode.de/schema-app/app-template.

The success status code is 201 Created and the response body is the newly created single App resource.

Edit

To update an existing App Resource, clients may perform a PUT on ec:app or self at a single App Resource. The JSON Schema for editing an App is https://schema.entrecode.de/schema-app/app-template.

The success status code is 200 OK and the response body is the updated single App resource.

Delete

To delete an existing App Resource, clients may perform a DELETE on ec:app or self at a single App Resource. This marks the App for deletion and makes it (including all related subresources) unavailable over the API. At some later point, it will even be wiped from the App Server.

Currently it is not possible to restore a deleted App using the API, so handle this method with care!

The success status code is 204 No Content with an empty response body.
