»Validate HTTP API

The /validate endpoints are used to validate object structs, fields, and types.

»Validate Job

This endpoint validates a Nomad job file. The local Nomad agent forwards the request to a server. In the event a server can't be reached the agent verifies the job file locally but skips validating driver configurations.

The table below shows this endpoint's support for blocking queries and required ACLs.

»Parameters

There are no parameters, but the request body contains the entire job file.

»Sample Payload

(any valid nomad job IN JSON FORMAT)

»Sample Request

$ curl \
    --request POST \
    --data @my-job.nomad \
    https://localhost:4646/v1/validate/job
