»Workspaces API

Workspaces represent running infrastructure managed by Terraform.

Viewing a workspace (individually or in a list) requires permission to read runs. Changing settings and force-unlocking require admin access to the workspace. Locking and unlocking a workspace requires permission to lock and unlock the workspace. (More about permissions.)

Create a Workspace

POST /organizations/:organization_name/workspaces

ParameterDescription
:organization_nameThe name of the organization to create the workspace in. The organization must already exist in the system, and the user must have permissions to create new workspaces.

Note: Workspace creation is restricted to the owners team, teams with the "Manage Workspaces" permission, and the organization API token.

Request Body

This POST endpoint requires a JSON object with the following properties as a request payload.

Properties without a default value are required.

By supplying the necessary attributes under a vcs-repository object, you can create a workspace that is configured against a VCS Repository.

Key pathTypeDefaultDescription
data.typestringMust be "workspaces".
data.attributes.namestringThe name of the workspace, which can only include letters, numbers, -, and _. This will be used as an identifier and must be unique in the organization.
data.attributes.agent-pool-idstring(nothing)Required when execution-mode is set to agent. The ID of the agent pool belonging to the workspace's organization. This value must not be specified if execution-mode is set to remote or local or if operations is set to true.
data.attributes.allow-destroy-planbooleantrueWhether destroy plans can be queued on the workspace.
data.attributes.assessments-enabledbooleanfalse(previously drift-detection) Whether or not Terraform Cloud performs health assessments for the workspace. May be overriden by the organization setting assessments-enforced. Only available for Business tier organizations, in workspaces running Terraform version 0.15.4+ and operating in Remote execution mode. Not available in Terraform Enterprise.
data.attributes.auto-applybooleanfalseWhether to automatically apply changes when a Terraform plan is successful, with some exceptions.
data.attributes.descriptionstring(nothing)A description for the workspace.
data.attributes.execution-modestringremoteWhich execution mode to use. Valid values are remote, local, and agent. When set to local, the workspace will be used for state storage only. This value must not be specified if operations is specified.
data.attributes.file-triggers-enabledbooleantrueWhether to filter runs based on the changed files in a VCS push. If enabled, it uses either trigger-prefixes in conjunction with working_directory or trigger-patterns to describe the set of changed files that will start a run. If disabled, any push will trigger a run.
data.attributes.global-remote-statebooleanfalseWhether the workspace should allow all workspaces in the organization to access its state data during runs. If false, then only specifically approved workspaces can access its state. Manage allowed workspaces using the Remote State Consumers endpoints, documented later on this page. Note: Terraform Enterprise admins can choose the default value for new workspaces if this attribute is omitted.
data.attributes.operationsbooleantrueDEPRECATED Use execution-mode instead. Whether to use remote execution mode. When set to false, the workspace will be used for state storage only. This value must not be specified if execution-mode is specified.
data.attributes.queue-all-runsbooleanfalseWhether runs should be queued immediately after workspace creation. When set to false, runs triggered by a VCS change will not be queued until at least one run is manually queued.
data.attributes.source-namestring(nothing)A friendly name for the application or client creating this workspace. If set, this will be displayed on the workspace as "Created via <SOURCE NAME>".
data.attributes.source-urlstring(nothing)A URL for the application or client creating this workspace. This can be the URL of a related resource in another app, or a link to documentation or other info about the client.
data.attributes.speculative-enabledbooleantrueWhether this workspace allows automatic speculative plans. Setting this to false prevents Terraform Cloud from running plans on pull requests, which can improve security if the VCS repository is public or includes untrusted contributors. It doesn't prevent manual speculative plans via the CLI or the runs API.
data.attributes.terraform-versionstring(special)The version of Terraform to use for this workspace. This can be either an exact version or a version constraint (like ~> 1.0.0); if you specify a constraint, the workspace will always use the newest release that meets that constraint. If omitted when creating a workspace, this defaults to the latest released version.
data.attributes.trigger-patternsarray[]List of glob patterns that describe the files Terraform Cloud monitors for changes. Trigger patterns are always appended to the root directory of the repository.
data.attributes.trigger-prefixesarray[]List of trigger prefixes that describe the paths Terraform Cloud monitors for changes, in addition to the working directory. Trigger prefixes are always appended to the root directory of the repository. Terraform Cloud will start a run when files are changed in any directory path matching the provided set of prefixes.
data.attributes.vcs-repo.branchstring(nothing)The repository branch that Terraform will execute from. If omitted or submitted as an empty string, this defaults to the repository's default branch (e.g. master) .
data.attributes.vcs-repo.identifierstringA reference to your VCS repository in the format :org/:repo where :org and :repo refer to the organization and repository in your VCS provider. The format for Azure DevOps is :org/:project/_git/:repo.
data.attributes.vcs-repo.ingress-submodulesbooleanfalseWhether submodules should be fetched when cloning the VCS repository.
data.attributes.vcs-repo.oauth-token-idstringThe VCS Connection (OAuth Connection + Token) to use. This ID can be obtained from the oauth-tokens endpoint.
data.attributes.vcs-repo.tags-regexstring(nothing)A regular expression used to match Git tags. Terraform Cloud triggers a run when this value is present and a VCS event occurs that contains a matching Git tag for the regular expression.
data.attributes.vcs-repoobject(nothing)Settings for the workspace's VCS repository. If omitted, the workspace is created without a VCS repo. If included, you must specify at least the oauth-token-id and identifier keys below.
data.attributes.working-directorystring(nothing)A relative path that Terraform will execute within. This defaults to the root of your repository and is typically set to a subdirectory matching the environment when multiple environments exist within the same repository.
data.relationships.project.data.idstringThe ID of the project to create the workspace in. If left blank, the workspace will be created in the organization's default project. You must have permission to create workspaces in the project, either by organization-level permissions or team admin access to a specific project.

Update a Workspace

A workspace can be updated via two endpoints, which behave identically. One refers to a workspace by its ID, and the other by its name and organization.

PATCH /workspaces/:workspace_id

ParameterDescription
:workspace_idThe ID of the workspace to update

PATCH /organizations/:organization_name/workspaces/:name

ParameterDescription
:organization_nameThe name of the organization the workspace belongs to.
:nameThe name of the workspace to update, which can only include letters, numbers, -, and _. This will be used as an identifier and must be unique in the organization.

Request Body

These PATCH endpoints require a JSON object with the following properties as a request payload.

Properties without a default value are required.

Key pathTypeDefaultDescription
data.typestringMust be "workspaces".
data.attributes.namestring(previous value)A new name for the workspace, which can only include letters, numbers, -, and _. This will be used as an identifier and must be unique in the organization. Warning: Changing a workspace's name changes its URL in the API and UI.
data.attributes.agent-pool-idstring(previous value)Required when execution-mode is set to agent. The ID of the agent pool belonging to the workspace's organization. This value must not be specified if execution-mode is set to remote or local or if operations is set to true.
data.attributes.allow-destroy-planboolean(previous value)Whether destroy plans can be queued on the workspace.
data.attributes.assessments-enabledbooleanfalse(previously drift-detection) Whether or not Terraform Cloud performs health assessments for the workspace. May be overriden by the organization setting assessments-enforced. Only available for Business tier organizations, in workspaces running Terraform version 0.15.4+ and operating in Remote execution mode. Not available in Terraform Enterprise.
data.attributes.auto-applyboolean(previous value)Whether to automatically apply changes when a Terraform plan is successful, with some exceptions.
data.attributes.descriptionstring(previous value)A description for the workspace.
data.attributes.execution-modestring(previous value)Which execution mode to use. Valid values are remote, local, and agent. When set to local, the workspace will be used for state storage only. This value must not be specified if operations is specified.
data.attributes.file-triggers-enabledboolean(previous value)Whether to filter runs based on the changed files in a VCS push. If enabled, it uses either trigger-prefixes in conjunction with working_directory or trigger-patterns to describe the set of changed files that will start a run. If disabled, any push will trigger a run.
data.attributes.global-remote-stateboolean(previous value)Whether the workspace should allow all workspaces in the organization to access its state data during runs. If false, then only specifically approved workspaces can access its state. Manage allowed workspaces using the Remote State Consumers endpoints, documented later on this page.
data.attributes.operationsboolean(previous value)DEPRECATED Use execution-mode instead. Whether to use remote execution mode. When set to false, the workspace will be used for state storage only. This value must not be specified if execution-mode is specified.
data.attributes.queue-all-runsboolean(previous value)Whether runs should be queued immediately after workspace creation. When set to false, runs triggered by a VCS change will not be queued until at least one run is manually queued.
data.attributes.speculative-enabledboolean(previous value)Whether this workspace allows automatic speculative plans. Setting this to false prevents Terraform Cloud from running plans on pull requests, which can improve security if the VCS repository is public or includes untrusted contributors. It doesn't prevent manual speculative plans via the CLI or the runs API.
data.attributes.terraform-versionstring(previous value)The version of Terraform to use for this workspace. This can be either an exact version or a version constraint (like ~> 1.0.0); if you specify a constraint, the workspace will always use the newest release that meets that constraint.
data.attributes.trigger-patternsarray(previous value)List of glob patterns that describe the files Terraform Cloud monitors for changes. Trigger patterns are always appended to the root directory of the repository.
data.attributes.trigger-prefixesarray(previous value)List of trigger prefixes that describe the paths Terraform Cloud monitors for changes, in addition to the working directory. Trigger prefixes are always appended to the root directory of the repository. Terraform Cloud will start a run when files are changed in any directory path matching the provided set of prefixes.
data.attributes.vcs-repo.branchstring(previous value)The repository branch that Terraform will execute from.
data.attributes.vcs-repo.identifierstring(previous value)A reference to your VCS repository in the format :org/:repo where :org and :repo refer to the organization and repository in your VCS provider. The format for Azure DevOps is :org/:project/_git/:repo.
data.attributes.vcs-repo.ingress-submodulesboolean(previous value)Whether submodules should be fetched when cloning the VCS repository.
data.attributes.vcs-repo.oauth-token-idstring(previous value)The VCS Connection (OAuth Connection + Token) to use. This ID can be obtained from the oauth-tokens endpoint.
data.attributes.vcs-repo.tags-regexstring(previous value)A regular expression used to match Git tags. Terraform Cloud triggers a run when this value is present and a VCS event occurs that contains a matching Git tag for the regular expression.
data.attributes.vcs-repoobject or null(previous value)To delete a workspace's existing VCS repo, specify null instead of an object. To modify a workspace's existing VCS repo, include whichever of the keys below you wish to modify. To add a new VCS repo to a workspace that didn't previously have one, include at least the oauth-token-id and identifier keys.
data.attributes.working-directorystring(previous value)A relative path that Terraform will execute within. This defaults to the root of your repository and is typically set to a subdirectory matching the environment when multiple environments exist within the same repository.
data.relationships.project.data.idstring(previous value)The ID of the project to move the workspace to. If left blank or unchanged, the workspace will not be moved. You must have admin permissions on both the source project and destination project in order to move a workspace between projects.

List workspaces

This endpoint lists workspaces in the organization.

GET /organizations/:organization_name/workspaces

ParameterDescription
:organization_nameThe name of the organization to list the workspaces of.

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.

ParameterDescription
page[number]Optional. If omitted, the endpoint will return the first page.
page[size]Optional. If omitted, the endpoint will return 20 workspaces per page.
search[name]Optional. Allows searching the organization's workspaces by name.
search[tags]Optional. If specified, restricts results to workspaces with that tag. If multiple comma separated values are specified, results matching all of the tags are returned.
search[exclude-tags]Optional. If specified, results exclude workspaces with that tag. If multiple comma separated values are specified, workspaces with tags matching any of the tags are excluded.
search[wildcard-name]Optional. If specified, restricts results to workspaces with partial matching, using * on prefix, suffix, or both. For example, search[wildcard-name]=*-prod returns all workspaces ending in -prod, search[wildcard-name]=prod-* returns all workspaces beginning with prod-, and search[wildcard-name]=*-prod-* returns all workspaces with substring -prod- regardless of prefix and/or suffix.
filter[project][id]Optional. If specified, restricts results to workspaces in the specific project.

Show workspace

Details on a workspace can be retrieved from two endpoints, which behave identically.

One refers to a workspace by its ID:

GET /workspaces/:workspace_id

ParameterDescription
:workspace_idThe workspace ID

The other refers to a workspace by its name and organization:

GET /organizations/:organization_name/workspaces/:name

ParameterDescription
:organization_nameThe name of the organization the workspace belongs to.
:nameThe name of the workspace to show details for, which can only include letters, numbers, -, and _.

Workspace performance attributes

The following attributes are helpful in determining the overall health and performance of your workspace configuration. These metrics refer to the past 30 runs that have either resulted in an error or successfully applied.

ParameterTypeDescription
data.attributes.apply-duration-averagenumberThis is the average time runs spend in the apply phase, represented in milliseconds
data.attributes.plan-duration-averagenumberThis is the average time runs spend in the plan phase, represented in milliseconds
data.attributes.policy-check-failuresnumberReports the number of run failures resulting from a policy check failure
data.attributes.run-failuresnumberReports the number of failed runs
data.attributes.workspace-kpis-run-countnumberTotal number of runs taken into account by these metrics

Safe Delete a workspace

When you delete a Terraform Cloud workspace with resources, Terraform can no longer track or manage that infrastructure. During a safe delete, Terraform Cloud only deletes the workspace if it is not managing resources.

You can safe delete a workspace using two endpoints that behave identically. The first endpoint identifies a workspace with the workspace ID, and the other identifies the workspace by its name and organization.

POST /workspaces/:workspace_id/actions/safe-delete

ParameterDescription
:workspace_idThe ID of the workspace to delete.

POST /organizations/:organization_name/workspaces/:name/actions/safe-delete

ParameterDescription
:organization_nameThe name of the workspace's organization.
:nameThe name of the workspace to delete, which can only include letters, numbers, -, and _.
StatusResponseReason(s)
204NothingSuccessfully deleted the workspace
404JSON API error objectWorkspace not found, or user unauthorized to perform workspace delete
409JSON API error objectWorkspace is not safe to delete because it is managing resources

Force Delete a workspace

During a force delete, Terraform Cloud removes the specified workspace without checking whether it is managing resources. We recommend using the safe delete endpoint instead, when possible.

Warning: Terraform cannot track or manage the workspace's infrastructure after deletion. We recommend destroying the workspace's infrastructure before you delete it.

By default, only organization owners can force delete workspaces. Organization owners can also update [organization's settings](/cloud-docs/users-teams organizations/organizations#general) to let workspace admins force delete their own workspaces.

You can use two endpoints to force delete a workspace, which behave identically. One endpoint identifies the workspace with its workspace ID and the other endpoint identifies the workspace with its name and organization.

DELETE /workspaces/:workspace_id

ParameterDescription
:workspace_idThe ID of the workspace to delete

DELETE /organizations/:organization_name/workspaces/:name

ParameterDescription
:organization_nameThe name of the organization the workspace belongs to.
:nameThe name of the workspace to delete, which can only include letters, numbers, -, and _.
StatusResponseReason(s)
204NothingSuccessfully deleted the workspace
403JSON API error objectNot authorized to perform a force delete on the workspace
404JSON API error objectWorkspace not found, or user unauthorized to perform workspace delete

Sample Request

$ curl \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/vnd.api+json" \
  --request DELETE \

  • If global-remote-state is set to false for the workspace, this will return the list of other workspaces that are specifically authorized to access the workspace's state.
  • If global-remote-state is set to true, this will return a list of every workspace in the organization except for the subject workspace.

The list returned by this endpoint is subject to the caller's normal workspace permissions; it will not include workspaces that the provided API token is unable to read.

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.

ParameterDescription
page[number]Optional. If omitted, the endpoint will return the first page.
page[size]Optional. If omitted, the endpoint will return 20 workspaces per page.

Replace Remote State Consumers

PATCH /workspaces/:workspace_id/relationships/remote-state-consumers

ParameterDescription
:workspace_idThe workspace ID to replace remote state consumers for. Obtain this from the workspace settings or the Show Workspace endpoint.

This endpoint updates the workspace's remote state consumers to be exactly the list of workspaces specified in the payload. It can only be used for workspaces where global-remote-state is false.

This endpoint can only be used by teams with permission to manage workspaces for the entire organization — only those who can view the entire list of consumers can replace the entire list. (More about permissions.) Teams with admin permissions on specific workspaces can still modify remote state consumers for those workspaces, but must use the add (POST) and remove (DELETE) endpoints listed below instead of this PATCH endpoint.

StatusResponseReason(s)
204NothingSuccessfully updated remote state consumers
404JSON API error objectWorkspace not found, or user unauthorized to perform action
422JSON API error objectProblem with payload or request; details provided in the error object

Request Body

This PATCH endpoint requires a JSON object with the following properties as a request payload.

Properties without a default value are required.

Key pathTypeDefaultDescription
data[].typestringMust be "workspaces".
data[].idstringThe ID of a workspace to be set as a remote state consumer.

Sample Payload

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "ws-7aiqKYf6ejMFdtWS",
      "type": "workspaces"
    }

Add Remote State Consumers

POST /workspaces/:workspace_id/relationships/remote-state-consumers

ParameterDescription
:workspace_idThe workspace ID to add remote state consumers for. Obtain this from the workspace settings or the Show Workspace endpoint.

This endpoint adds one or more remote state consumers to the workspace. It can only be used for workspaces where global-remote-state is false.

  • The workspaces specified as consumers must be readable to the API token that makes the request.
  • A workspace cannot be added as a consumer of itself. (A workspace can always read its own state, regardless of access settings.)
  • You can safely add a consumer workspace that is already present; it will be ignored, and the rest of the consumers in the request will be processed normally.
