Chapter 2. Enabling and using the Red Hat Quay API


The Red Hat Quay API provides endpoints to automate registry tasks such as repository, user, and image management. You can integrate these endpoints into your existing workflows.

Detailed instructions for how to use the Red Hat Quay API are available in the Red Hat Quay API guide. That guide covers the following topics:

  • Red Hat Quay token types, including OAuth 2 access tokens, robot account tokens, and OCI referrers tokens, and how to generate these tokens.
  • Enabling the Red Hat Quay API by configuring your config.yaml file.
  • How to use the Red Hat Quay API by passing in your OAuth 2 account token into the desired endpoint.
  • API examples, including one generic example of how an administrator might automate certain tasks.
