How to call Cloud Foundry API from a node.js application deployed?

[jabrena]

Hi,

I would like to know how to call cloud foundry API from a node.js application deployed.

From local, it is very easy to call the API using the absolute address:

https://api.MY_PUBLIC_IP.xip.io/v2/info
http://apidocs.cloudfoundry.org/214/info/get_info.html

but if I deploy a node application, I can't connect with the API.

Does exist a way to call the API from a application deployed?

Many thanks in advance

@jabrena calling the API from application should work.

Your Cloud Foundry deployment might not have access to the IP address that you specifying. Some Cloud Foundry deployments have security groups setup on application so that they cannot access certain IP addresses. Ask your Devops if this is the case.

No matter what, I don't believe this to be a buildpack limitation though. Asking this question on the cf-dev mailing list might also help answer your question.

I will use the mailing list, but in my case, any security group was assigned to any space.

Thanks JT
