  description: '# Overview


    To facilitate management, Apache Airflow supports a range of REST API endpoints across its

    objects. This section provides an overview of the API design, methods, and supported use cases. Most of the endpoints accept `JSON` as input and return `JSON` responses. This means that you must usually add the following headers to your request:

    ```

    Content-type: application/json

    Accept: application/json

    ```


    ## Resources


    The term `resource` refers to a single type of object in the Airflow metadata. An API is broken up by its

    endpoint''s corresponding resource. The name of a resource is typically plural and expressed in camelCase. Example: `dagRuns`. Resource names are used as part of endpoint URLs, as well as in API parameters and responses. ## CRUD Operations


    The platform supports **C**reate, **R**ead, **U**pdate, and **D**elete operations on most resources. You can review the standards for these operations and their standard parameters below. Some endpoints have special behavior as exceptions. ### Create


    To create a resource, you typically submit an HTTP `POST` request with the resource''s required metadata

    in the request body. The response returns a `201 Created` response code upon success with the resource''s metadata, including

    its internal `id`, in the response body. ### Read


    The HTTP `GET` request can be used to read a resource or to list a number of resources. A resource''s `id` can be submitted in the request parameters to read a specific resource. The response usually returns a `200 OK` response code upon success, with the resource''s metadata in

    the response body. If a `GET` request does not include a specific resource `id`, it is treated as a list request. The response usually returns a `200 OK` response code upon success, with an object containing a list

    of resources'' metadata in the response body. When reading resources, some common query parameters are usually available. e.g.:

    ```

    v1/connections?limit=25&offset=25

    ```


    |Query Parameter|Type|Description|

    |---------------|----|-----------|

    |limit|integer|Maximum number of objects to fetch. Usually 25 by default|

    |offset|integer|Offset after which to start returning objects. For use with limit query parameter.|


    ### Update


    Updating a resource requires the resource `id`, and is typically done using an HTTP `PATCH` request,

    with the fields to modify in the request body. The response usually returns a `200 OK` response code upon success, with information about the modified

    resource in the response body. ### Delete


    Deleting a resource requires the resource `id` and is typically executing via an HTTP `DELETE` request. The response usually returns a `204 No Content` response code upon success. ## Conventions


    - Resource names are plural and expressed in camelCase. - Names are consistent between URL parameter name and field name. - Field names are in snake_case. ```json

    {

    "name": "string",

    "slots": 0,

    "occupied_slots": 0,

    "used_slots": 0,

    "queued_slots": 0,

    "open_slots": 0

    }

    ```


    ### Update Mask


    Update mask is available as a query parameter in patch endpoints. It is used to notify the

    API which fields you want to update. Using `update_mask` makes it easier to update objects

    by helping the server know which fields to update in an object instead of updating all fields. The update request ignores any fields that aren''t specified in the field mask, leaving them with

    their current values. Example:

    ```

    resource = request.get(''/resource/my-id'').json()

    resource[''my_field''] = ''new-value''

    request.patch(''/resource/my-id?update_mask=my_field'', data=json.dumps(resource))

    ```


    ## Versioning and Endpoint Lifecycle


    - API versioning is not synchronized to specific releases of the Apache Airflow. - APIs are designed to be backward compatible. - Any changes to the API will first go through a deprecation phase. # Trying the API


    You can use a third party client, such as curl, HTTPie,

    Postman or the Insomnia rest client to test

    the Apache Airflow API.'
