   GET /embed/lfv/{planet}
   GET /jobs
   GET /jobs/{job_id}/reports
   GET /jobs/{job_id}/reports/{id}/results
   GET /planets
   GET /planets/{id}
   GET /planets/{id}/logs

1.4.4

Whats new

A web frontend and API endpoint for Orbit.

$ usage: iss [options...]
Options:
-e, --environment The environment to run the server with
-h, --host        The host to bind the local server on
                  Defaults to: 0.0.0.0
-p, --port        The port number to start the local server on
                  Defaults to: 1974
-r, --routes      Print out all defined routes
-h, --help        This help text
-v, --version     Show version number

All endpoints have the /api/ prefix and usually return a JSON encoded result set.

$ iss --routes
GET /api/stats
GET /api/stats/{type}/count
GET /api/stats/{type}/list
GET /api/jobs
GET /api/jobs/{job_id}/reports
GET /api/jobs/{job_id}/reports/{id}/results
GET /api/lfv/planets
GET /api/lfv/planets/{id}/files
GET /api/lfv/planets/{id}/file

For example to get the total number of planets with type of web:

$ curl localhost:1974/api/stats/web/count

The tool expects to find the index.html file and related ressources under $ORBIT_HOME/public/iss. The file $ORBIT_HOME/public/iss/index.html maps to localhost:1974/iss/index.html.
