Our top end API doesn't have a lot for you to "drive" the puppetmaster or dashboard programmatically yet, and it's more puppetmaster-to-node. I think you'll see that evolve over time. We should definitely clarify a bit more (in those docs) what is possible via REST now for scripting against Puppet, though I think for the most part you can look at REST today as largely an internals feature (faster/better RPC) and over the long hall you'll see that become more of a strategic documented integration API.It's certaintly the kind of thing we want to enable, allowing other tools to "latch on" to Puppet to use it as their configuration management engine. (Just as we want to (and do) enable Puppet to latch on to those external systems, as we do with things like custom functions and external nodes).

Re: [Puppet Users] REST API for puppet
It does exist! Sadly, the documentation is the code, as far as I've been able to determine.

[Puppet Users] REST API for puppet
Hello everyone! Is there any REST API avaiable for puppet? In the documentation page ( http://docs.puppetlabs.com/) there is a message saying that the doc will be comming soon.. but I am in doubt... the REST API exists, but it is not documented or it does not exist? If it exists, does anyone know what can kind of thing can be done with the API?
