Access details of your applications from the Cloud Foundry API

Problem

You need access to application level information to help manage and plan your estate and cannot get what you need through the command line interface (CLI).

Solution

  • Login with the CF CLI as usual
  • Use the CF API to access the /V3/apps endpoint to return the detailed information in JSON format.
  • Filter the data using the jq command (http://github/stedolan/jq)
cf login
cf curl /v2/apps | jq '.'
cf curl /v2/apps | jq '.resources[4]'
cf curl /v2/apps | jq '.resources[4].entity.memory'

Discussion

The advantage of using the cf curl command is that is that it handles authentication for you.
