CloudStack API Question

Hi everyone,

I have not yet made use of the CS API and was looking at this URL:

http://incubator.apache.org/cloudstack/docs/api/apidocs-4.0.0/TOC_Root_Admin.html

I was wondering where we specify what the protocol is?  Does CS use JSON
over HTTP?

Can someone point me to these specifics?

Thanks!

Great - thanks, guys!

I am looking into the details of how I did the sorting and what I used when
I generated the signature.

Re: CloudStack API Question

Posted by Mike Tutkowski <mi...@solidfire.com>.
Looking in the GUI, I see a UUID-type value for a Compute Offering's ID (is
this a value I would use in the API call?):

Re: CloudStack API Question

Posted by Mike Tutkowski <mi...@solidfire.com>.

Re: CloudStack API Question

Posted by Mike Tutkowski <mi...@solidfire.com>.
I think I fixed the signature issue because now I get a new error code:  431

431 Request Header Fields Too Large (RFC
6585<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6585>
)The server is unwilling to process the request because either an
individual header field, or all the header fields collectively, are too
large.[18]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes#cite_note-rfc6585-18>

I'm using a GET request.  Maybe I have to do this as a POST request?

Re: CloudStack API Question

Cool...thanks, Will.

It sounds like if I get the signature right, then I should be good.

Looking into it now.

Re: CloudStack API Question

Posted by Will Stevens <ws...@cloudops.com>.
Looking at what you pasted in.  I think you forgot to add the api key to
the request parameters before you sorted them and then generated your
signature.  In short, your signature is wrong...

Re: CloudStack API Question

Posted by Will Stevens <ws...@cloudops.com>.
When you generated your signature, did you first sort the parameters being
passed alphabetically?  If you didn't then the signature which you
generated is wrong.

Something to check anyway...

Re: CloudStack API Question

Posted by Mike Tutkowski <mi...@solidfire.com>.
So, my next API question.  :)

I am getting a 401 with the following Java code.  A 401 is authentication
related, but I'm not sure if I need to provide a username and password
because I didn't see that in the example on the web that I'm following.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

  final String strHost = "127.0.0.1:8080/";

   final String strFinalUrl = "http://" + strHost + strApiUrl +
"&apiKey="+ strApiKey +
"&signature=" + strEncodedSignature;

   System.out.println(strFinalUrl);

   final HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();

 final HttpResponse response = client.execute(new HttpGet(strFinalUrl));

   if (response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() != 200)

 {

  throw new RuntimeException("Failed on CloudStack deployVirtualMachine API
call : HTTP error code : " + response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());

 }

The URL I'm printing looks like this:


http://127.0.0.1:8080/client/api?command=deployVirtualMachine&serviceOfferingId=1&diskOfferingId=1&templateId=1&zoneId=1&apiKey=X0U60K_Qgodb6nL5csNcAzRiz2cKiwx-tjBj1dTMLSVxkdmD0QtUhFzDf3MCmwGnC3z2dQPo0j3x_XJYmoEBmg&signature=CJvLoJ%2ByvUM12OUNb9hxyD1Gsjw%3D

Re: CloudStack API Question

Posted by Mike Tutkowski <mi...@solidfire.com>.

I'm not completely up to speed yet on what CloudStack considers a domain
versus an account versus a user, but I found this page and am going through
it now:

Re: CloudStack API Question

Posted by David Grizzanti <da...@sungard.com>.
Mike,

In the UI if you go to "Accounts" in the left hand sidebar -> click the name of an account (i.e. "admin") -> under Details click "View Users" -> click the Username of the user in question (i.e. "admin") and the API and Secrety Key should be listed under the Details there.

Hope that helps!

Re: CloudStack API Question

Posted by Mike Tutkowski <mi...@solidfire.com>.
OK, just getting around to doing this now.

It looks like the Generate Keys command worked (I didn't get an error
message), but I'm not sure where to look in the GUI to find these keys.

Would you mind pointing that out for me?

Thanks!!

If its a fresh install, you will access the client at:
the.machines.ip:8080/client/
Login with username/password of: admin/password
Click: Accounts -> admin -> View Users -> admin -> (in the main window
there are 3 buttons at the top left of the screen, mouse over the right
most one of the 3 and it should say 'Generate Keys', click that)

You can follow that same process for any user who has an account.

Hey everyone,

Thanks for the help!  I was able to successfully make my first CS API call
and deploy a VM.  :)

Re: CloudStack API Question

Posted by Mike Tutkowski <mi...@solidfire.com>.
I think I may know the problem here:

I only have one template and it is a system template.  So, even when I walk
through the wizard to kick off a VM, I can't do so because there are no
ISOs or templates to choose from.

I'm using DevCloud2.  I thought it provided at least one template for you?

Re: CloudStack API Question

Posted by Mike Tutkowski <mi...@solidfire.com>.
As an example of all of this hard-coded goodness, this is what I have
presently:

  final String strCommand = "command=deployVirtualMachine&" +

  "serviceOfferingId=e91f2471-f26d-4376-889f-cc123963a921&" +

  "diskOfferingId=cef6404a-99f4-44f9-a818-79b8db9a4144&" +

  "templateId=53fa881c-758b-11e2-a253-63be90943755" +

  "&zoneId=93e5759e-f65b-4d0a-baa6-70cdd046a805";

Perhaps those ID are not what the API call is looking for, though?

Re: CloudStack API Question

Posted by Mike Tutkowski <mi...@solidfire.com>.
Thanks, everyone

What I'm building at the moment is just a little Java app to deploy a VM
through CloudStack.  I'm expecting in the end that when someone invokes it,
they will provide the serviceofferingid, templateid, and zoneid, etc.

So, during development, I just wanted to hard code these values.

I was looking in the GUI to see if I could locate, for example, the
serviceofferingid.  Under the Compute Offering I wanted, I saw an ID field
(that looked like a UUID).  I was assuming this ID is what is being asked
for by serviceofferingid?

When you see deficiencies like this, please file a bug. This should be
something that we are fixing overtime in the API documentation, but it
will get lost here in the flood of emails.

Re: CloudStack API Question

That would probably be useful, Jessica.

Another thing that would have been even more useful is to know, for
example, what the format of the url field of the createStoragePool command
should be.  It is a string, but it doesn't say what format it should be in.
 In my case (because I was setting up access to an iSCSI target), it needed
to be iscsi://<ip address or host name>/iqn/LUN, but I had to shoot an
e-mail off to the community to see if anyone could tell me.

Thanks!

Not knowing where the docs were is a docs issue. Maybe we need to add a
link to the Developer's Guide as part of the header on every API command
man page? Mike, would that have helped give you a hint as to where to get
more info?

Nah, the docs are fine on this point.  I was looking at the actual API
calls and didn't know where the docs were on how to format API commands at

Is the documentation unclear on how to work with keys? If we need to fix

Re: CloudStack API Question

Posted by Rohit Yadav <bh...@apache.org>.
You may use marvin or cloudmonkey for automation as well.

A trick is to use the integration port 8096 to create users and
register user keys (api for creating user api and secret keys) and use
them on port 8080 for authentication.

Can you point me to the location in the GUI where I can generate keys?

They do not expire, but in the UI you can regenerate the keys, so in that

Re: CloudStack API Question

Posted by Mike Tutkowski <mi...@solidfire.com>.
Thanks for the info.

So, I see we have three roles in CloudStack:  Root Admin, Domain Admin, and
User.

When submitting API commands, does the submitter - regardless of role -
have to provide an API Key and Secret Key (or is that something, say, the
Root Admin doesn't have to do)?

Thanks!

Re: CloudStack API Question

Posted by Mike Tutkowski <mi...@solidfire.com>.
So, I'm looking at these comments now:

2.3. Getting Started
To get started using the CloudStack API, you should have the following:

   - URL of the CloudStack server you wish to integrate with.
   - Both the API Key and Secret Key for an account. This should have been
   generated by the administrator of the cloud instance and given to you.
   - Familiarity with HTTP GET/POST and query strings.
   - Knowledge of either XML or JSON.
   - Knowledge of a programming language that can generate HTTP requests;
   for example, Java or PHP.


I'm not sure how to generate the API Key and Secret Key for an account.
 Can someone point me to instructions for this?

Thanks!

At the bottom of the post I have provided two small python files which will
get you working with the API really quickly.  The code explains the steps
needed to create api calls pretty clearly and gives you something to play
with right away.

Take a look at the API developer guide [1].  It explains how to use the
API (not the specific API commands).

Also, depending on the language you are using, there are lots of options
already out there for language-specific bindings (if you don't want to
roll your own).
