Using Marconi's Public APIs

Marconi fully implements version 1.0 of the OpenStack Messaging API by now. Generally, you can use any HTTP client to talk with Marconi public REST API, though Marconi client is the recommended approach.

Marconi Client

We can easily access the Marconi REST API via Marconi client. Below is an example to create a queue, post messages to it and finally delete it:

from marconiclient.queues.v1 import client

URL = 'http://localhost:8888'
messages = [{'body': {'id': idx}, 'ttl': 360} for idx in range(20)]

cli = client.Client(URL)
queue = cli.queue('myqueue')
queue.post(messages)

for msg in queue.messages(echo=True):
    print(msg.body)
    msg.delete()

queue.delete()

curl

Define these variables:

# USERNAME=my identity username
# APIKEY=my-long-api-key
# ENDPOINT=test-queue.mydomain.com < keystone endpoint >
# QUEUE=test-queue
# CLIENTID=c5a6114a-523c-4085-84fb-533c5ac40789
# HTTP=http
# PORT=80
# TOKEN=9abb6d47de3143bf80c9208d37db58cf < your token here >

Create the queue:

# curl -i -X PUT $HTTP://$ENDPOINT:$PORT/v1/queues/$QUEUE -H "X-Auth-Token: $TOKEN" -H "Client-ID: $CLIENTID"
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
content-length: 0
location: /v1/queues/test-queue

`HTTP/1.1 201 Created` response proves that service is functioning properly.
