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

POST /api/v1/fleet/mdm/sso
Parameters
None.
Example
POST /api/v1/fleet/mdm/sso
Default response
{
"url": "https://idp-provider.com/saml?SAMLRequest=...",
}
Complete SSO during DEP enrollment
This is the callback endpoint that the identity provider will use to send security assertions to Fleet. This is where Fleet receives and processes the response from the identify provider.
POST /api/v1/fleet/mdm/sso/callback
Parameters
Name | Type | In | Description |
---|---|---|---|
SAMLResponse | string | body | Required. The SAML response from the identity provider. |

If the credentials are valid, the server redirects the client to the Fleet UI. The URL contains the following query parameters that can be used to complete the DEP enrollment flow:
enrollment_reference
a reference that must be passed along withprofile_token
to the endpoint to download an enrollment profile.profile_token
is a token that can be used to download an enrollment profile (.mobileconfig).eula_token
(optional) if an EULA was uploaded, this contains a token that can be used to view the EULA document.
Preassign profiles to devices
Available in Fleet Premium
This endpoint stores a profile to be assigned to a host at some point in the future. The actual assignment happens when the Match preassigned profiles endpoint is called. The reason for this "pre-assign" step is to collect all profiles that are meant to be assigned to a host, and match the list of profiles to an existing team (or create one with that set of profiles if none exist) so that the host can be assigned to that team and inherit its list of profiles.
POST /api/v1/fleet/mdm/apple/profiles/preassign
Parameters
Name | Type | In | Description |
---|---|---|---|
external_host_identifier | string | body | Required. The identifier of the host as generated by the external service (e.g. Puppet). |
host_uuid | string | body | Required. The UUID of the host. |
profile | string | body | Required. The base64-encoded .mobileconfig content of the MDM profile. |
group | string | body | The group label associated with that profile. This information is used to generate team names if they need to be created. |
Example
POST /api/v1/fleet/mdm/apple/profiles/preassign
Request body
{
"external_host_identifier": "id-01234",
"host_uuid": "c0532a64-bec2-4cf9-aa37-96fe47ead814",
"profile": "<base64-encoded profile>",
"group": "Workstations"
}
Default response
Status: 204
Match preassigned profiles
Available in Fleet Premium
This endpoint uses the profiles stored by the Preassign profiles to devices endpoint to match the set of profiles to an existing team if possible, creating one if none exists. It then assigns the host to that team so that it receives the associated profiles. It is meant to be called only once all desired profiles have been pre-assigned to the host.
POST /api/v1/fleet/mdm/apple/profiles/match
Parameters
Name | Type | In | Description |
---|---|---|---|
external_host_identifier | string | body | Required. The identifier of the host as generated by the external service (e.g. Puppet). |
Example
POST /api/v1/fleet/mdm/apple/profiles/match
Request body
{
"external_host_identifier": "id-01234"
}
Default response
Status: 204

Parameters
Name | Type | In | Description |
---|---|---|---|
query_id | integer | body | The saved query (if any) that will be run. The observer_can_run property on the query and the user's roles determine which targets are included. |
selected | object | body | The object includes lists of selected host IDs (selected.hosts ), label IDs (selected.labels ), and team IDs (selected.teams ). When provided, builtin label IDs, custom label IDs and team IDs become AND filters. Within each selector, selecting two or more teams, two or more builtin labels, or two or more custom labels, behave as OR filters. There's one special case for the builtin label "All hosts", if such label is selected, then all other label and team selectors are ignored (and all hosts will be selected). If a host ID is explicitly included in selected.hosts , then it is assured that the query will be selected to run on it (no matter the contents of selected.labels and selected.teams ). See examples below. |

There's one special case for the builtin label "All hosts" , if such label is selected, then all other label and team selectors are ignored (and all hosts will be selected). If a host's hostname is explicitly included in selected.hosts , then it is assured that the query will be selected to run on it (no matter the contents of selected.labels ). See examples below. |
One of query
and query_id
must be specified.

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. |
Example
Example script to handle request and response
const socket = new SockJS(`<your-base-url>/api/v1/fleet/results`, undefined, {});
socket.onopen = () => {
socket.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'auth', data: { token: <token> } }));
socket.send(JSON.stringify({ type: 'select_campaign', data: { campaign_id: <campaignID> } }));
};
socket.onmessage = ({ data }) => {

Trigger cron schedule
This API is used by the fleetctl
CLI tool to make requests to trigger an ad hoc run of all jobs in
a specified cron schedule.
Trigger
This makes a request to trigger the specified cron schedule. Upon receiving the request, the Fleet server first checks the current status of the schedule, and it returns an error if a run is currently pending.
POST /api/latest/fleet/trigger
Parameters
Name | Type | In | Description |
---|---|---|---|
name | string | query | The name of the cron schedule to trigger. |
Example
POST /api/latest/fleet/trigger?name=automations

- 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
- Download device's MDM manual enrollment profile
- Migrate device to Fleet from another MDM solution
Get device's host
Returns the host information about the device that makes the request.
