Configuration versions API reference

A configuration version (configuration-version) is a resource used to reference the uploaded configuration files. It is associated with the run to use the uploaded configuration files for performing the plan and apply.

You need read runs permission to list and view configuration versions for a workspace, and you need queue plans permission to create new configuration versions. Refer to the permissions documentation for more details.

Attributes

Configuration Version States

The configuration version state is found in data.attributes.status, and you can reference the following list of possible states.

A configuration version created through the API or CLI can only be used in runs if it is in an uploaded state. A configuration version created through a linked VCS repository may also be used in runs if it is in an archived state.

List Configuration Versions

GET /workspaces/:workspace_id/configuration-versions

Query Parameters

This endpoint supports pagination with standard URL query parameters. Remember to percent-encode [ as %5B and ] as %5D if your tooling doesn't automatically encode URLs.

      }
    },
    "links": { "self": "/api/v2/configuration-versions/cv-UYwHEakurukz85nW" }
  }
}

Configuration Files Upload URL

Once a configuration version is created, use the upload-url attribute to upload configuration files associated with that version. The upload-url attribute is only provided in the response when creating configuration versions.

Upload Configuration Files

PUT https://archivist.terraform.io/v1/object/<UNIQUE OBJECT ID>

The URL is provided in the upload-url attribute when creating a configuration-versions resource. After creation, the URL is hidden on the resource and no longer available.

Sample Request

@filename is the name of configuration file you wish to upload.

curl \
  --header "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
  --request PUT \
  --data-binary @filename \
  https://archivist.terraform.io/v1/object/4c44d964-eba7-4dd5-ad29-1ece7b99e8da

Archive a Configuration Version

POST /configuration-versions/:configuration_version_id/actions/archive

This endpoint notifies HCP Terraform to discard the uploaded .tar.gz file associated with this configuration version. This endpoint can only archive configuration versions that were created with the API or CLI, are in an uploaded state, have no runs in progress, and are not the current configuration version for any workspace. Otherwise, calling this endpoint will result in an error.

HCP Terraform automatically archives configuration versions created through VCS when associated runs are complete and then re-fetches the files for subsequent runs.

Request Body

This POST endpoint does not take a request body.

Sample Request

curl \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json" \
  --request POST \
  https://app.terraform.io/api/v2/configuration-versions/cv-ntv3HbhJqvFzamy7/actions/archive

Download Configuration Files

GET /configuration-versions/:configuration_version_id/download

GET /runs/:run_id/configuration-version/download

These endpoints generate a temporary URL to the location of the configuration version in a .tar.gz archive, and then redirect to that link. If using a client that can follow redirects, you can use these endpoints to save the .tar.gz archive locally without needing to save the temporary URL. These endpoints will return an error if attempting to download a configuration version that is not in an uploaded state.

Sample Request

curl \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json" \
  --location \
  https://app.terraform.io/api/v2/configuration-versions/cv-C6Py6WQ1cUXQX2x2/download \
  > export.tar.gz

Mark a Configuration Version for Garbage Collection

POST /api/v2/configuration-versions/:configuration-id/actions/soft_delete_backing_data

This endpoint directs Terraform Enterprise to soft delete the backing files associated with the configuration version. Soft deletion refers to marking the configuration version for garbage collection. Terraform permanently deletes configuration versions marked for soft deletion after a set number of days unless the configuration version is restored. Once a configuration version is soft deleted, any attempts to read the configuration version will fail. Refer to Configuration Version States for information about all data states.

This endpoint can only soft delete configuration versions that meet the following criteria:

• Were created using the API or CLI,
• are in an uploaded state,
• and are not the current configuration version.

Otherwise, the endpoint returns an error.

Request Body

This POST endpoint does not take a request body.

Sample Request

curl \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json" \
  --request POST \
  https://app.terraform.io/api/v2/configuration-versions/cv-ntv3HbhJqvFzamy7/actions/soft_delete_backing_data
  --data {"data": {"attributes": {"delete-older-than-n-days": 23}}}

Restore Configuration Versions Marked for Garbage Collection

POST /api/v2/configuration-versions/:configuration-id/actions/restore_backing_data

This endpoint directs Terraform Enterprise to restore backing files associated with this configuration version. This endpoint can only restore delete configuration versions that meet the following criteria:

• are not in a backing_data_permanently_deleted state.

Otherwise, the endpoint returns an error. Terraform restores applicable configuration versions back to their uploaded state.

Request Body

This POST endpoint does not take a request body.

Sample Request

curl \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json" \
  --request POST \
  https://app.terraform.io/api/v2/configuration-versions/cv-ntv3HbhJqvFzamy7/actions/restore_backing_data

Permanently Delete a Configuration Version

POST /api/v2/configuration-versions/:configuration-id/actions/permanently_delete_backing_data

This endpoint directs Terraform Enterprise to permanently delete backing files associated with this configuration version. This endpoint can only permanently delete configuration versions that meet the following criteria:

• Were created using the API or CLI,
• are in a backing_data_soft_deleted state,
• and are not the current configuration version.

Otherwise, the endpoint returns an error.

Request Body

This POST endpoint does not take a request body.
