Cloud Controller API Client Libraries

Page last updated:

This topic describes the client libraries available for developers who want to consume the Cloud Foundry API (CAPI) for Cloud Foundry.

Overview

CAPI is the entry point for most operations within the Cloud Foundry platform. You can use it to manage orgs, spaces, and apps, which includes user roles and permissions. You can also use CAPI to manage the services provided by your Cloud Foundry deployment, including provisioning, creating, and binding them to apps.

Client Libraries

While you can develop apps that consume CAPI by calling it directly as in the API documentation, you might want to use an existing client library. See the available client libraries below.

Cloud Foundry currently supports the following clients for CAPI:

• Java
• Scripting with the Cloud Foundry Command Line Interface (cf CLI)

Experimental

The following client is experimental and a work in progress:

• Golang
