REST Web Services Enhancements in 2022.03
The following enhancement to the Web Services module was added in the 2022.03 release.
New Registry Service REST API
This release introduces a new set of Registry Service REST APIs that enable producers to download a log showing a summary of their end-customers’ download activity from all registry service instances.
Calling the /downloads endpoint retrieves the following data:
| • | The ID of the artifact that was downloaded |
| • | The name of the user who downloaded the artifact |
| • | The account to which user belongs |
| • | The timestamp when an artifact was accessed |
Authentication to the /downloads endpoint is facilitated by the new /authenticate endpoint. Producers pass their credentials—a base64-encoded string, which is a combination of the producer’s user name and password separated by a colon (:)—to the new /authenticate endpoint, which creates a JWT token that can be used to authorize access to the /downloads endpoint.
For more information about the Registry Service REST APIs, refer to the FlexNet Operations Web Services Integration Guide.
