This document includes the Fleet API routes that are helpful when developing or contributing to Fleet.
Unlike the Fleet REST API documentation, only the Fleet UI, Fleet Desktop, and fleetctl
clients use the API routes in this document:
Packs
Scheduling queries in Fleet is the best practice for collecting data from hosts. To learn how to schedule queries, check out the docs here.
The API routes to control packs are supported for backwards compatibility.
- Create pack
- Modify pack
- Get pack
- List packs
- Delete pack
- Delete pack by ID
- Get scheduled queries in a pack
- Add scheduled query to a pack
- Get scheduled query
- Modify scheduled query
- Delete scheduled query

Live query
These API routes are used by the Fleet UI.
- Check live query status
- Check result store status
- Search targets
- Count targets
- Run live query
- Run live query by name
- Retrieve live query results (standard WebSocket API)
- Retrieve live query results (SockJS)
Check live query status
This checks the status of the Fleet's ability to run a live query. If an error is present in the response, Fleet won't be able to run a live query successfully. The Fleet UI uses this endpoint to make sure that the Fleet instance is correctly configured to run live queries.
GET /api/v1/fleet/status/live_query
Parameters
None.
Example
GET /api/v1/fleet/status/live_query
Default response

Retrieve live query results (standard WebSocket API)
You can retrieve the results of a live query using the standard WebSocket API.
Before you retrieve the live query results, you must create a live query campaign by running the live query. Use the Run live query or Run live query by name endpoints to create a live query campaign.
Note that live queries are automatically cancelled if this method is not called to start retrieving the results within 60 seconds of initiating the query.
/api/v1/fleet/results/websocket
Parameters
Name | Type | In | Description |
---|---|---|---|
token | string | Required. The token used to authenticate with the Fleet API. | |
campaignID | integer | Required. The ID of the live query campaign. |
Example
Example script to handle request and response
const socket = new WebSocket('wss://<your-base-url>/api/v1/fleet/results/websocket');
socket.onopen = () => {
socket.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'auth', data: { token: <auth-token> } }));
socket.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'select_campaign', data: { campaign_id: <campaign-id> } }));
};
socket.onmessage = ({ data }) => {
console.log(data);
const message = JSON.parse(data);
if (message.type === 'status' && message.data.status === 'finished') {
socket.close();
}

Retrieve live query results (SockJS)
You can also retrieve live query results with a SockJS client. The script to handle the request and response messages will look similar to the standard WebSocket API script with slight variations. For example, the constructor used for SockJS is SockJS
while the constructor used for the standard WebSocket API is WebSocket
.
Note that SockJS has been found to be substantially less reliable than the standard WebSockets approach.
/api/v1/fleet/results/
Parameters
Name | Type | In | Description |
---|---|---|---|
token | string | Required. The token used to authenticate with the Fleet API. | |
campaignID | integer | Required. The ID of the live query campaign. |

Device-authenticated routes
Device-authenticated routes are routes used by the Fleet Desktop application. Unlike most other routes, Fleet user's API token does not authenticate them. They use a device-specific token.
- Get device's host
- Refetch device's host
- Get device's Google Chrome profiles
- Get device's mobile device management (MDM) and Munki information
- Get device's policies
- Get device's API features
- Get device's transparency URL
Get device's host
Returns the host information about the device that makes the request.
GET /api/v1/fleet/device/{token}

Get device's API features
This supports the dynamic discovery of API features supported by the server for device-authenticated routes. This allows supporting different versions of Fleet Desktop and Fleet server instances (older or newer) while supporting the evolution of the API features. With this mechanism, an older Fleet Desktop can ignore features it doesn't know about, and a newer one can avoid requesting features about which the server doesn't know.
GET /api/v1/fleet/device/{token}/api_features
Parameters
Name | Type | In | Description |
---|---|---|---|
