StateDescription

Using HCP Terraform agents

HCP Terraform agents allow HCP Terraform to communicate with isolated, private, or on-premises infrastructure. When a workspace is set to use the agent execution mode, the plan response will include additional details about the agent pool and agent used.

Retrieve the JSON execution plan

GET /plans/:id/json-output

GET /runs/:id/plan/json-output

These endpoints generate a temporary authenticated URL to the location of the JSON formatted execution plan. When successful, this endpoint responds with a temporary redirect that should be followed. If using a client that can follow redirects, you can use this endpoint to save the .json file locally without needing to save the temporary URL.

This temporary URL provided by the redirect has a life of 1 minute, and should not be relied upon beyond the initial request. If you need repeat access, you should use this endpoint to generate a new URL each time.

Note: This endpoint is available for plans using Terraform 0.12 and later. For Terraform Enterprise, this endpoint is available from v202005-1, and its stability was improved in v202007-1.

Note: This endpoint cannot be accessed with organization tokens. You must access it with a user token or team token that has admin level access to the workspace. (More about permissions.)

StatusResponseReason
204No ContentPlan JSON supported, but plan has not yet completed.
307Temporary RedirectPlan JSON found and temporary download URL generated
422JSON API error objectPlan does not use a supported version of terraform (< 0.12.X)
