Calling Rundeck API job with options with Postman

It’s very easy. But the docs aren’t clear, so here is an example that works:

URL:

POST > 
http://myrundeck.com:4440/api/34/job/jobid..../run?authtoken=XXX

Body: (raw/json)

{
 "options": {
  "servicetorestart": "httpd"
 }
}

In my case the problem was that you have to nest the entire “options” block in {}. Otherwise it doesn’t work, and throws:

<result error='true' apiversion='34'>
<error code='api.error.job.options-invalid'>
<message>Job options were not valid: Option 'servicetorestart' is required.</message>
</error>
</result>
