API Endpoints

Aside from interacting via pull request comments, Atlantis could respond to a limited number of API endpoints.

Main Endpoints

The API endpoints in this section are disabled by default, since these API endpoints could change the infrastructure directly. To enable the API endpoints, api-secret should be configured.

Prerequisites

• Set api-secret as part of the Server Configuration
• Pass X-Atlantis-Token with the same secret in the request header

Name	Type	Required	Description

Type	string	Yes	Type of the VCS provider (Github/Gitlab)
Paths	[ Path ]	Yes	Paths to the projects to run the plan
PR	int	No	Pull Request number
