Create an Integration with Github

To create an integration with GitHub, you make a POST request. The request body includes properties specific to GitHub.

Prerequisites

• Verify that all general prerequisites and prerequisites for the Automation Assembler Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) service have been satisfied. See Prerequisites for API Use Case Examples.
• Verify that you have a personal access token for authentication to GitHub. See https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html.

Procedure

1. Assign variables for GitHub.

   private_key='<your_GitHub_personal_access_token>'

2. Submit a request to create a GitHub integration.

   curl -X POST \
     "$url/iaas/api/integrations?apiVersion=$api_version" \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" \
     -d '{
       "integrationType":"com.github.saas",
       "name":"<your_github_integration>",
       "privateKey":"'$private_key'",
       "integrationProperties":{
         "url":"https://api.github.com"
       },
     }' | jq "."

   The response includes a selfLink.

   {
     "progress": 0,
     "status": "INPROGRESS",
     "name": "Integration creation/update",
     "id": "example-selfLink-alphanumeric-string",
     "selfLink": "/iaas/api/request-tracker/example-selfLink-alphanumeric-string"
   }

3. Assign the selfLink variable.

   selfLink_id='example-selfLink-alphanumeric-string'

4. Use the selfLink variable to track the request.

   curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" "$url/iaas/api/request-tracker/$selfLink_id?apiVersion=$api_version" | jq "."

   When the request completes successfully, the response includes a resource with the integration ID.

   {
     "progress": 100,
     "status": "FINISHED",
     "resources": [
         "/iaas/api/integrations/example-integration-id-string"
     ],
     "name": "Integration creation/update",
     "id": "example-selfLink-alphanumeric-string",
     "selfLink": "/iaas/api/request-tracker/example-selfLink-alphanumeric-string"
   }

5. Assign the integration ID variable.

   integration_id='example-integration-alphanumeric-string'

6. Use the integration ID variable to list the integration.

   curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" "$url/iaas/api/integrations/$integration_id?apiVersion=$api_version" | jq "."

7. Examine the response and verify that the name and ID of the integration that you created is listed.

Example: Create a GitHub integration

Assign the required variables.

Note: If your organization uses an API service that is hosted outside of the United States, your URL variable must include a country abbreviation. See Regional Endpoints for VMware Aria Automation APIs.

$ url='https://api.mgmt.cloud.vmware.com'
$ api_version='2021-07-15'
$ private_key='8bc9401b5d28f4ec126929af0dc4e99dd0792b0f'

Create the integration.

$ curl -X POST \
  "$url/iaas/api/integrations?apiVersion=$api_version" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" \
  -d '{
    "integrationType":"com.github.saas",
    "name":"Git integration example",
    "privateKey":"'$private_key'",
    "integrationProperties":{
      "url":"https://api.github.com"
    },
  }' | jq "."

The response includes a selfLink.

{
  "progress": 0,
  "status": "INPROGRESS",
  "name": "Integration creation/update",
  "id": "a0c5eb3a-9ffa-4bfb-b63b-c77510bcc597",
  "selfLink": "/iaas/api/request-tracker/a0c5eb3a-9ffa-4bfb-b63b-c77510bcc597"
}

Assign the selfLink variable

selfLink_id='a0c5eb3a-9ffa-4bfb-b63b-c77510bcc597'

Use the selfLink variable to track the request.

curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" "$url/iaas/api/request-tracker/$selfLink_id?apiVersion=$api_version" | jq "."

When the request completes successfully, the response includes a resource with the integration ID.
