Vcs Providers¶

The VcsProvider resource¶

The VCS Provider resource represents a connection between a Scalr account and a VCS, such as Github, Gitlab, Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps.

Key path

Description

type* (string)

Available values: vcs-providers

id (string)

attributes.auth-type* (string)

Available values: oauth2, personal_token

Authentication type, the VCS API client is using to establish connection with the VCS.

oauth2 - private OAuth App, user or organization creates in their VCS account. Setup through this method requires a user to complete a web flow through a browser, where the user should authorize Scalr to connect to their OAuth App.

personal_token - a pre-generated authentication token. This method works better if you need to fully automate the VCS provider creation.

How to generate access tokens for different VCS providers:

GitHub and GitHub Enterprise

GitLab and GitLab Enterprise

Azure DevOps

Bitbucket Data Center

attributes.error-message (string)

List VCS Providers¶

GET /api/iacp/v3/vcs-providers¶

This endpoint returns a list of VCS providers by various filters.

To list VCS providers accessible from a specific environment - filter[environment], or when from a specific account - filter[account] has to be specified.

For self-hosted Scalr there’s also an option to list all VCS providers created globally

both filter[account]=null and filter[environment]=null has to be specified.

If no environment or account filters were specified, all VCS providers to which a current user has read access will be returned.

Query Parameters

query (string) – Full text search based on a VCS provider’s name
page[number] (string) – Page number
page[size] (string) – Page size
filter[vcs-provider] (string) – The ID of the VCS provider. Multiple values are allowed through COMMA ,
filter[vcs-type] (string) – Filter by VCS type
filter[environment] (string) – The environment filter
filter[account] (string) – The account filter
sort (array) – The comma-separated list of attributes. (Available values: name, vcs-type)

Create a VCS Provider¶

POST /api/iacp/v3/vcs-providers¶

Create a new VCS connection between Scalr and a VCS provider.

VCS providers can be created at the Scalr account. Self-hosted Scalr also supports the creation of global VCS providers. If a VCS provider is created globally, all accounts within the self-hosted installation will have access to use the VCS provider.

Only VCS providers with personal_token auth type, can be created through the API. If you need to setup oauth2 provider, you should use Scalr web interface to do this.
