»Registry Modules API

Note: Public Module Curation is only available in Terraform Cloud. Where applicable, the registry_name parameter must be private for Terraform Enterprise.

Terraform Cloud Registry Implementation

The Terraform Cloud Module Registry implements the Registry standard API for consuming/exposing private modules. Refer to the Module Registry HTTP API to perform the following:

Browse available modules
Search modules by keyword
List available versions for a specific module
Download source code for a specific module version
List latest version of a module for all providers
Get the latest version for a specific module provider
Get a specific module
Download the latest version of a module

For publicly curated modules, the Terraform Cloud Module Registry acts as a proxy to the Terraform Registry for the following:

List available versions for a specific module
Get a specific module
Get the latest version for a specific module provider

The Terraform Cloud Module Registry endpoints differs from the Module Registry endpoints in the following ways:

The :namespace parameter should be replaced with the organization name for private modules.
The private module registry discovery endpoints have the path prefix provided in the discovery document which is currently /api/registry/v1.
The public module registry discovery endpoints have the path prefix provided in the discovery document which is currently /api/registry/public/v1.
Authentication is handled the same as all other Terraform Cloud endpoints.

Sample Registry Request (private module)

List available versions for the consul module for the aws provider on the module registry published from the Github organization my-gh-repo-org:

$ curl https://registry.terraform.io/v1/modules/my-gh-repo-org/consul/aws/versions

The same request for the same module and provider on the Terraform Cloud module registry for the my-cloud-org organization:

$ curl \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  https://app.terraform.io/api/registry/v1/modules/my-cloud-org/consul/aws/versions

Sample Proxy Request (public module)

List available versions for the consul module for the aws provider on the module registry published from the Github organization my-gh-repo-org:

$ curl https://registry.terraform.io/v1/modules/my-gh-repo-org/consul/aws/versions

The same request for the same module and provider on the Terraform Cloud module registry:

$ curl \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  https://app.terraform.io/api/registry/public/v1/modules/my-gh-repo-org/consul/aws/versions

List Registry Modules for an Organization

GET /organizations/:organization_name/registry-modules

Parameter	Description
`:organization_name`	The name of the organization to list available modules from.

Lists the modules that are available to a given organization. This includes the full list of publicly curated and private modules and is filterable.

Status	Response	Reason
200	JSON API document (`type: "registry-modules"`)	The request was successful
404	JSON API error object	Modules not found or user unauthorized to perform action

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.

Parameter	Description
`q`	Optional. A search query string. Modules are searchable by name, namespace, provider fields.
`filter[field name]`	Optional. If specified, restricts results to those with the matching field name value. Valid values are `registry_name`, `provider`, and `organization_name`.
`page[number]`	Optional. If omitted, the endpoint will return the first page.
`page[size]`	Optional. If omitted, the endpoint will return 20 registry modules per page.

Publish a Private Module from a VCS

Deprecation warning: the following endpoint POST /registry-modules is replaced by the below endpoint and will be removed from future versions of the API!

POST /organizations/:organization_name/registry-modules/vcs

Parameter	Description
`:organization_name`	The name of the organization to create a module in. The organization must already exist, and the token authenticating the API request must belong to the "owners" team or a member of the "owners" team.

Publishes a new registry private module from a VCS repository, with module versions managed automatically by the repository's tags. The publishing process will fetch all tags in the source repository that look like SemVer versions with optional 'v' prefix. For each version, the tag is cloned and the config parsed to populate module details (input and output variables, readme, submodules, etc.). The Module Registry Requirements define additional requirements on naming, standard module structure and tags for releases.

Status	Response	Reason
201	JSON API document (`type: "registry-modules"`)	Successfully published module
422	JSON API error object	Malformed request body (missing attributes, wrong types, etc.)
404	JSON API error object	User not authorized

Request Body

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

Properties without a default value are required.

Key path	Type	Description
`data.type`	string	Must be `"registry-modules"`.
`data.attributes.vcs-repo.identifier`	string	The repository from which to ingress the configuration.
`data.attributes.vcs-repo.oauth-token-id`	string	The VCS Connection (OAuth Connection + Token) to use as identified. You can obtain this ID from the oauth-tokens endpoint.
`data.attributes.vcs-repo.display_identifier`	string	The display identifier for the repository. For most VCS providers outside of BitBucket Cloud, this identifier matches the `data.attributes.vcs-repo.identifier` string.
`data.attributes.no-code`	boolean	Allows you to enable or disable the no-code publishing workflow for a module. Not available in Terraform Enterprise.

A VCS repository identifier is a reference to a VCS repository in the format :org/:repo, where :org and :repo refer to the organization (or project key, for Bitbucket Server) and repository in your VCS provider. The format for Azure DevOps is :org/:project/_git/:repo.

The OAuth Token ID identifies the VCS connection, and therefore the organization, that the module will be created in.

Create a Module (with no VCS connection)

POST /organizations/:organization_name/registry-modules

Parameter	Description
`:organization_name`	The name of the organization to create a module in. The organization must already exist, and the token authenticating the API request must belong to the "owners" team or a member of the "owners" team.

Creates a new registry module without a backing VCS repository.

Private modules

After creating a module, a version must be created and uploaded in order to be usable. Modules created this way do not automatically update with new versions; instead, you must explicitly create and upload each new version with the Create a Module Version endpoint.

Public modules

When created, the public module record will be available in the organization's registry module list. You cannot create versions for public modules as they are maintained in the public registry.

Status	Response	Reason
201	JSON API document (`type: "registry-modules"`)	Successfully published module
422	JSON API error object	Malformed request body (missing attributes, wrong types, etc.)
403	JSON API error object	Forbidden - public module curation disabled
404	JSON API error object	User not authorized

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

Properties without a default value are required.

Key path	Type	Description
`data.type`	string	Must be `"registry-modules"`.
`data.attributes.name`	string	The name of this module. May contain alphanumeric characters, with dashes and underscores allowed in non-leading or trailing positions. Maximum length is 64 characters.
`data.attributes.provider`	string	Specifies the Terraform provider that this module is used for. May contain lowercase alphanumeric characters. Maximum length is 64 characters.
`data.attributes.namespace`	string	The namespace of this module. Cannot be set for private modules. May contain alphanumeric characters, with dashes and underscores allowed in non-leading or trailing positions. Maximum length is 64 characters.
`data.attributes.registry-name`	string	Indicates whether this is a publicly maintained module or private. Must be either `public` or `private`.

Add a Module Version (Private Module)

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

The URL is provided in the upload links attribute in the registry-module-versions resource.

Expected Archive Format

Terraform Cloud expects the module version uploaded to be a gzip tarball with the module in the root (not in a subdirectory).

Given the following folder structure:

terraform-null-test
├── README.md
├── examples
│   └── default
│       ├── README.md
│       └── main.tf
└── main.tf

Package the files in an archive format by running tar zcvf module.tar.gz * in the module's directory.

~$ cd terraform-null-test
terraform-null-test$ tar zcvf module.tar.gz *
a README.md
a examples
a examples/default
a examples/default/main.tf
a examples/default/README.md
a main.tf

Sample Request

curl \
  --header "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
  --request PUT \
  --data-binary @module.tar.gz \
  https://archivist.terraform.io/v1/object/dmF1bHQ6djE6NWJPbHQ4QjV4R1ox...

After the registry module version is successfully parsed, its status will become "ok".

Delete a Module

**Deprecation warning**: the following endpoints:

are replaced by the below endpoints and will be removed from future versions of the API!

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`:organization_name`	The name of the organization to delete a module from. The organization must already exist, and the token authenticating the API request must belong to the "owners" team or a member of the "owners" team.
`:namespace`	The module namespace that the deletion will affect. For private modules this is the name of the organization that owns the module.
`:name`	The module name that the deletion will affect.
`:provider`	If specified, the provider for the module that the deletion will affect.
`:version`	If specified, the version for the module and provider that will be deleted.
`:registry_name`	Either `public` or `private`

When removing modules, there are three versions of the endpoint, depending on how many parameters are specified.

If all parameters (module namespace, name, provider, and version) are specified, the specified version for the given provider of the module is deleted.
If module namespace, name, and provider are specified, the specified provider for the given module is deleted along with all its versions.
If only module namespace and name are specified, the entire module is deleted.

For public modules, only the the endpoint specifying the module namespace and name is valid. The other DELETE endpoints will 404. For public modules, this only removes the record from the organization's Terraform Cloud Registry and does not remove the public module from registry.terraform.io.

If a version deletion would leave a provider with no versions, the provider will be deleted. If a provider deletion would leave a module with no providers, the module will be deleted.

Status	Response	Reason
204	Nothing	Success
403	JSON API error object	Forbidden - public module curation disabled
404	JSON API error object	Module, provider, or version not found or user not authorized
