Introduction to the HCP metadata query API

The HCP metadata query API is a RESTful HTTP API that lets you query HCP for objects that meet specific criteria. In response to a query, HCP returns metadata for the matching objects. With the metadata query API, you can query not only for objects currently in the repository but also for information about objects that have been deleted from the repository.
