Java REST APIs

The following APIs are available that provide comprehensive information about Oracle Java public releases. For each API, there are input parameters that you can use to filter specific information.

• sortBy (string): sorts the result by osFamily (default value), architecture, artifactType, or packageType
• sortOrder (string): orders the result either by DESC or ASC (default value)

Current Java Releases

Current Java Releases API - https://java.oraclecloud.com/currentJavaReleases: retrieves a list of currently supported Oracle Java releases (CPU, Feature, and Patch releases). The API lists all releases that conform to the security baseline that is, securityStatus field set to UP_TO_DATE. For each Java release, this API presents the following information:

• artifactContentTypes: provides details such as, minimum number of days a Java release is under the security baseline and whether script download commands are available from the JMS Java Download page.
• jdkDetails: provides details about the Java versions.
• licenseDetails: provide details such as display name, license type, and license URL.
• releaseDate: provides the release date of a particular JDK version.
• releaseNotesUrl: displays the URL of the JDK release.
• releaseType: indicates the type of release such as CPU, FEATURE, or PATCH_RELEASE.
• releaseVersion: provides version number of the particular Java release.
• releaseFullVersion: provides complete version, including the build number of the particular Java release, for example, jdk-22.0.1+8.
• securityStatus: indicates security status of the release, such as UP_TO_DATE, UPDATE_REQUIRED, UPGRADE_REQUIRED, or UNKNOWN.

Using Java REST APIs

https://java.oraclecloud.com/javaReleases/11.0.17?osFamily=macos&architecture=aarch64

curl -H "token:<$token>" -L -O https://javamanagementservice-download.<$region>.oci.oraclecloud.com/java/11/latest/jdk-11_linux-aarch64_bin.tar.gz

In the download command, ensure that you provide a valid Token ID in the <$token> field and correct Region in the <$region> field. See the table in Regions and Availability Domains to find the <$region> values. Use the “Region Identifier” associated with the “Region Name” in which the token was created.

You can also use the checksum command to verify the package integrity.
