## REST API requests for configuration parameters

The following request formats are available for setting configuration parameters with the REST API.

Scope | Admin | Request format
--- | --- | ---
Site | Site admin | `<operation> .../admin/params/...` The site admin uses this format to retrieve and set configuration parameters that affect the entire site.
Space | Site admin | `<operation> .../admin/context_parameters/...` The site admin uses this format to set configuration parameters in context of a specific space. When sending REST API requests to set configuration parameters on the space level, make sure to specify the space ID and send an ALM-OCTANE-TECH-PREVIEW header with the value true.
Space | Space admin | `<operation> .../api/shared_spaces/<space_id>/params/...` The space admin uses this format to set configuration parameters in context of a specific space. When sending REST API requests to set configuration parameters on the space level, make sure to specify the space ID and send an ALM-OCTANE-TECH-PREVIEW header with the value true.

## Examples

Request type | Description
--- | ---
GET | To retrieve existing configuration parameters using the REST API, send a GET request. `GET .../admin/params` Use the response to determine if you send PUT or POST requests to set a configuration parameter value. If the parameter you need to configure is not listed, send a POST request. Sample GET response excerpt:
    {
      "total_count": 310,
      "data": [
        {
          "id": "SERVER_BASE_URL",
          "value": "http://<server>:<port>",
          "modified_by": "SiteAdminUser@TheCompany.com",
          "last_modified": "2017-03-22T20:04:38Z",
          "type": "param"
        },
    ...
    ...
    ...
        {
          "id": "MAIL_SERVER_HOST",
          "value": null,
          "modified_by": null,
          "last_modified": "1970-01-01T00:00:00Z",
          "type": "param"
        },
    ...
    ...
    ...
    }
PUT | To set a value for an existing configuration parameter, send a PUT request. You can set configuration parameters on the site level and on the space level. You can set multiple configuration parameters in the same PUT request. You do not have to reset the configuration parameters after restarting the server. Parameter values can be a maximum of 1000 characters. Sample PUT for site-level configuration parameters, by site admin:
    PUT .../admin/params
    {
       "data": [
            {
                "id": "<site_param_name>",
                "value": <value>
            }
        ]
    }
Sample PUT for space level parameters, by space admin: When the space admin is working with configuration parameters on the space level: Make sure to specify the space ID in the PUT. Send an ALM-OCTANE-TECH-PREVIEW header with the value true in requests to configure the parameter.
    PUT .../api/shared_spaces/<space_id>/params/SUPPORTS_BASIC_AUTHENTICATION
    {
    "value":"true"
    }
POST | To set a value for a new configuration parameter, send a POST request. Sample POST for space-level configuration parameters, by site admin: When the site admin is working with configuration parameters on the space level: Make sure to specify the space ID. Send an ALM-OCTANE-TECH-PREVIEW header with the value true in requests to configure the parameter.
    POST .../admin/context_parameters/
    {
      "data": [
        {
          "name": "<site_param_name>",
          "sharedspace_id": <id>,
          "value": <value>
        }
      ]
    }
