Deployment Manager provides a REST API to help automate common actions and integrate with other systems. These actions include:

• Create pipelines
• View pipelines
• Create merge requests
• View merge requests
• Start deployments
• View deployments
• Abort deployments
• Approve manual requests

In Deployment Manager 4.5 and later API documentation is included in the archive downloaded from the Pega Marketplace. You can view the Documentation/readme-for-swagger.md file for more information on using the API.

We have plans to expose all deployment manager data and actions via APIs in a future release.

Tips for using the service APIs

• When creating pipelines using the POST /pipelines/ endpoint, it's helpful to copy an existing pipeline fetched from the GET /pipelines/{id} endpoint and making any necessary changes to the response JSON. Until pipeline templates are officially supported, this is a good way to get similar functionality.
