Plan Exports API

Plan exports allow users to download data exported from the plan of a Run in a Terraform workspace. Currently, the only supported format for exporting plan data is to generate mock data for Sentinel.

Create a plan export

POST /plan-exports

This endpoint exports data from a plan in the specified format. The export process is asynchronous, and the resulting data becomes downloadable when its status is "finished". The data is then available for one hour before expiring. After the hour is up, a new export can be created.

StatusResponseReason
201JSON API document (type: "plan-exports")Successfully created a plan export
404JSON API error objectPlan not found, or user unauthorized to perform action
422JSON API error objectMalformed request body (missing attributes, wrong types, etc.), or a plan export of the provided data-type is already pending or downloadable for this plan

Request Body

This POST endpoint requires a JSON object with the following properties as a request payload.

Properties without a default value are required.

Key pathTypeDefaultDescription
data.typestringMust be "plan-exports".
data.attributes.data-typestringThe format for the export. Currently, the only supported format is "sentinel-mock-bundle-v0".
data.relationships.plan.dataobjectA JSON API relationship object that represents the plan being exported. This object must have a type of plans, and the id of a finished Terraform plan that does not already have a downloadable export of the specified data-type (e.g: {"type": "plans", "id": "plan-8F5JFydVYAmtTjET"})

    }
  }
}

Download exported plan data

GET /plan-exports/:id/download

This endpoint generates a temporary URL to the location of the exported plan data in a .tar.gz archive, and then redirects to that link. If using a client that can follow redirects, you can use this endpoint to save the .tar.gz archive locally without needing to save the temporary URL.

StatusResponseReason
302HTTP RedirectPlan export found and temporary download URL generated

Sample Request

  > export.tar.gz

Delete exported plan data

DELETE /plan-exports/:id

Plan exports expire after being available for one hour, but they can be deleted manually as well.
