This code provides a go client interface to the chefapic to interact with nodes. Running this code provides a simpler API than the native chef REST API for use by web applications. See the chefapi_demo_server repository to see how this code was installed and started.
===========================
Filter values may restrict the returned information to a specific owner of the nodes and to a specific organization. If not set nodes for all users and/or all organizations will be returned.
The body returned looks like this:
{
"organization": [
"node1",
"node2"
]
}Values
- 200 - List returned
- 400 - Invalid request was made
- 403 - Unauthorized request was made
