API Response Formats: XML and JSON

[Dean Kamali <de...@gmail.com>]

Hey everyone,

According to docs, CloudStack supports two formats as the response to
an API call. The default response is XML. If you would like the
response to be in JSON, add &response=json to the Command String.

I'm using CS 4.4 and when making an API call, I get response in XML
which is okay, however everytime I attempt to add &response=json to an
API call, I get error 401.
{

-
listvirtualmachinesresponse: {

uuidList: [ ]
errorcode: 401
errortext: "unable to verify user credentials and/or request signature"

}

Any idea on what is wrong?

You can also try running cloudmonkey and "set display json" - this way 
it prints all the output in json format.

Did you recalculate the signature?
