Chapter 4. API Extensions

The API extensions augment the core API. An API extension extends one or more of the following components of the core API:

  • Resources. An extension defines new object classes.

  • Attributes. An extended attribute defines a new attribute on existing resources. Prefixed by the extension name.

  • Actions. An extended action defines a new operation on an existing resource.

Generic API extensions are not plug-in-specific. For information about plug-in-specific extensions that are shipped with OpenStack Networking, see the extension documentation in the source code tree.
