Puppet users - Jul 2010 - puppetmaster REST interface

Hello,

I''m wondering if there''s some way to ask informations to the
puppetmaster via the REST interface.
My aim is to ask, for example "what are all the <factname> values for
<hostname>".
If so, is there any page about syntaxe ?

Thank you!

C.

Right now puppet mostly IS the documentation.  You could watch the traffic
between the puppetmaster and the client, or look at the source code, but I
don''t recommend it.

Also, it would probably be MUCH easier to enable storeconfigs and ask the MySQL
server directly.  That''s very easy to figure out.

another alternative, is to use Foreman, and then you could view (via web
interface) or query (through an API) for host informations.
