I want to authorize a storage with VMs. For that I need to have all the VM ID's for a storage and those I get using the following call:
https://[username]:[apikey]#api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Network_Storage_Iscsi/9653497/getAllowableVirtualGuests?objectMask=mask[id,fullyQualifiedDomainName]
This gives me all the VM ID's corresponding to 9653497 (storage/order ID). However, I need to have all those storage ID's (like 9653497) which are not assigned to any of the VM's ID. I am using below call to get all storage ID:
https://[username]:[apikey]#api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getNetworkStorage?objectMask=mask[id,username,nasType,storageType, billingItem[description,location[id,longName]]]&objectFilter={"networkStorage":{"nasType":{"operation":"ISCSI"},"billingItem":{"description":{"operation":"Endurance Storage"}}}}
the data that you are using for the filter probably are wrong, try to call the get object method GET /SoftLayer_Network_Storage/9653497/getObject?objectMask=mask[nasType,billingItem[description]] and see if the values of the request are the same as of your objectFilter
The filter in your request, gets Block Storage("nasType":{"operation":"ISCSI"}), maybe you need the File Storage. We can remove it to get more "Endurance" items (Block and File).
Please try the following removing some filters:
https://[username]:[apikey]#api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getNetworkStorage?objectMask=mask[id,username,nasType,storageType, billingItem[description,location[id,longName]]]&objectFilter={ "networkStorage": { "billingItem": { "description": { "operation": "Endurance Storage" } } } }
Method: GET
if we don't want to get only Endurance, we can remove that filter too.
But when trying to add some properties using objectMasks to SoftLayer_Account::getNetworkStorage like allowableVirtualGuests, that property is not present in SoftLayer_Network_Storage.
For that reason the unique way to get “getAllowableVirtualGuests” is using SoftLayer_Network_Storage::getAllowableVirtualGuests

Before you start reading: I have looked at the GraphQL documentation, but my usecase is so specific and I only need the data once, and therefore I allow myself to ask the community for help on this one to save some time and frustration (not planning to learn GraphQL in the future)
Intro
I am a CS student developing an app for Flutter on the side, where I need information about the name and location of every bus stop in a specific county in Norway. Luckily, there's an open GraphQL API for this (API URL: https://api.entur.io/stop-places/v1/graphql). The thing is, I don't know how to query a GraphQL API, and I do not want to spend time learning it as I am only going to fetch the data once and be done with it.
Here's the IDE for the API: https://api.entur.io/stop-places/v1/ide
And this is the exact query I want to perform as I want to fetch bus stops located in the county of Trondheim:
{
stopPlace(stopPlaceType: onstreetBus, countyReference: "Trondheim") {
name {
value
}
... on StopPlace {
quays {
geometry {
coordinates
}
}
}
}
}
The problem with this query though, is that I don't get any data when passing "Trondheim" to the countyReference (without countyReference I get the data, but not for Trondheim). I've tried using the official municipal number for the county as well without any luck, and the documentation of the API is rather poor... Maybe this is something I'll have to contact the people responsible for the API to figure out, which shouldn't be a problem.
But now back to the real problem - how can I make this query using the GraphQL package for Dart? Here's the package I'm planning to use: (https://pub.dev/packages/graphql)
I want to create a bus stop object for each bus stop, and I want to put them all in a list. Here is my bus stop model:
class BusStop with ChangeNotifier {
final String id;
final String name;
final LatLng location;
BusStop({
this.id,
this.name,
this.location
});
}
When it comes to authentication, here's what the documentation says:
This API is open under NLOD licence, however, it is required that all consumers identify themselves by using the header ET-Client-Name. Entur will deploy strict rate-limiting policies on API-consumers who do not identify with a header and reserves the right to block unidentified consumers. The structure of ET-Client-Name should be: "company - application"
Header examples: "brakar - journeyplanner" "fosen_utvikling - departureboard" "norway_bussekspress - nwy-app"
Link to API documentation: https://developer.entur.org/pages-nsr-nsr
Would be great to know how I should go about this as well! I'm grateful for every answers to this, I know I am being lazy here as of learning GraphQL, but for my usecase I thought it would take less time and frustration by asking here!
Getting the query right
First of all you seem to have GraphQL quite figured out. There isn't really much more to it than what you are doing. What queries an API supports depends on the API. The problem you seem to have is more related to the specific API that you are using. I might have figured the right query out for you and if not I will quickly explain what I did and maybe you can improve the query yourself:
{
stopPlace(stopPlaceType: onstreetBus, municipalityReference: "KVE:TopographicPlace:5001") {
name {
value
}
... on StopPlace {
quays {
geometry {
coordinates
}
}
}
}
}
So to get to this I started finding out more about "Trondheim" bei using the topographicPlace query.
{
topographicPlace(query: "Trondheim") {
id
name {
value
}
topographicPlaceType
parentTopographicPlace {
id
name {
value
}
}
}
}
If you do that you will see that "Trondheim" is not a county according to the API: "topographicPlaceType": "municipality". I have no idea what municipality is but the is a different filter for this type on the query that you provided. Then putting "Trondheim" there didn't yield any results so I tried the ID of Trondheim. This now gives me a bunch of results.
About the GraphQL client that you are using:
This seems to be an "Apollo Client" clone in Dart. Apollo Client is a heavy piece of software that comes with a lot of awesome features when used in a frontend application. You probably just want to make a single GraphQL request from a backend. I would recommend using a simple HTTP client to send a POST request to the GraphQL API and a JSON body (don't forget content type header) with the following properties: query containing the query string from above and variables a JSON object mapping variable names to values (only needed if you decide to add variables to your query.
I find ObjectFilter doesn't work in SoftLayer.
I even tried the example provided in the SoftLayer webpage here:
https://sldn.softlayer.com/article/object-filters
REST:
List the ID and hostname of all servers in dal05
https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getVirtualGuests?objectMask=mask[id,hostname]&objectFilter={"datacenter":{"name":{"operation":"dal05"}}}
When I ran this command, it still returns all the virtual guests, regardless what data center that virtual guest belongs to.
try this request:
GET https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getVirtualGuests?objectMask=mask[id,hostname,datacenter]&objectFilter={"virtualGuests":{"datacenter":{"name":{"operation":"dal05"}}}}
The issue with your request is that you are missing the "virtualGuests" property, keep in mind that the objectFilter is filtering over the data in the database, so you need to tell it over what table work and over what record of the table work. e.g. using the "SoftLayer_Account" that implies that all the work will be over the "SoftLayer_Account" table now you need to tell id over what property/record of that table work in this case you need to work over the "virtualGuests" and so on. Please keep in mind that and you review the documentation about the valid properties/records e.g. these are the valid properties/record for Softlayer_Account:
http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/datatypes/SoftLayer_Account
Regards
Maybe you can try adding virtualGuestsin the filter, something like this:
objectFilter={ "virtualGuests": { "datacenter": { "longName": { "operation": "Dallas 6" } } } }
or please see the first examples of https://sldn.softlayer.com/article/object-filters, like this:
object_filter = {
'virtualGuests': {
'datacenter': {
'name': {'operation': 'dal05'}
}
}
}
After placing order for a storage in softlayer, I need to get that storage id for a particular order id.The api call i am using, is giving me a list of storage ID. But, if user orders for a storage, only one storage id the user should get right.
So, the api is not properly filtering and not getting a particularly storage id for a particular order id . The rest api, i am using is given below and please tell me what should be the proper filtering ,
"https://[username]:[apikey]#api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getIscsiNetworkStorage.json?objectFilter={"networkStorage": {"billingItem": {"nasType": { "operation": "ISCSI"}, "orderItem": {"order": {"id":{"operation":"[orderID]"}}}}}} "
This api is provided by softlayer team
Regards,
Debartha
use this request:
GET https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getIscsiNetworkStorage?objectMask=mask[billingItem[orderItem[order]]]&objectFilter={"iscsiNetworkStorage": {"billingItem": { "orderItem": {"order": {"id":{"operation":5208963}}}}}}
note: replace 5208963, with your orderID
Basically all the devices must have a billingItem and that billingItem should have orderItem.order.id property, so you can use this filter to get any device using the orderID property, you just to need to make sure that the "iscsiNetworkStorage" value, in the filter, has the same name as the method you are calling (in this case getIscsiNetworkStorage method ), but without the pre-fix "get" and it must start with lower case e.g.
getIscsiNetworkStorage -> iscsiNetworkStorage

Is there a way to store custom application configurations on the Cumulocity backend through the c8y.sdk? I would like to store a JSON with configuration information specific to an application created using the the smart app toolkit.
You can save settings at the tenant by using c8ySettings,
BUT you have a limitation of 256 characters per value.
I'm struggling with the same problem of storing larger plugin configurations without any success.
I asked about this from cumulocity support and they said it is possible to store custom JSON under managedobjects because at the moment they dont support storing JSON to database otherwise.
So you will need "create" or "admin" rights to inventory to be able to create new managedobject. You can store values like this:
var userSettings = {
type: 'userDashboardSettings',
yourSetting: somesetting,
id: settingsId
};
c8yInventory.save(userSettings).then(function(){
//do something
});
then you can search this newly created managedobject like this:
c8yInventory.list({
type: 'userDashboardSettings',
owner: id,
pageSize: 2
}).then(function (settings) { //do something }
So this way I was for example able to save user specific settings.
To find user dashboard settings do GET to: https://yourdomain.com/inventory/managedObjects/?type=userDashboardSettings&owner=IDHERE
To Delete managedObject do DELETE to: https://yourdomain.com/inventory/managedObjects/IDHERE
To see all managedObjects do GET: https://yourdomain.com/inventory/managedObjects
Type and user are important, this is how you find the managedobject.
I using Instagram API to get user info
api = InstagramAPI(access_token=access_token)
profile = api.user(user_id="kallaucyahoocojp") # I try to put output data to profile variable here
And I get the below error:
DownloadError: Unable to fetch URL: https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/kallaucyahoocojp.json?access_token=(u'1191812153.f78cd79.d2d99595c79d4c23a7994d85ea0d412c', {u'username': u'kallaucyahoocojp', u'bio': u'\u30c4\u30a4\u30c3\u30bf\u30d5\u30a9\u30ed\u30ef\u30fc\u5897\u52a0\u30b5\u30fc\u30d3\u30b9', u'website': u'http://twitter\u30d5\u30a9\u30ed\u30ef\u30fc.jp', u'profile_picture': u'http://images.ak.instagram.com/profiles/anonymousUser.jpg', u'full_name': u'Kallauc', u'id': u'1191812153'})
Can anybody help me to fix it?
You need to pass the numeric-based user id, rather than the username. For example, instead of passing kallaucyahoocojp, you might pass 1234 if t
Here's how to get the ID if you don't have it:
Search for the instagram user id using this endpoint. In the python api:
api.user_search(q="kallaucyahoocojp", count=100)
Check the results for an exact string match on each user name while iterating through the results (calling .lower() to be sure to ignore potential case issues).
If you don't find the user in the first page of results, call to the next page using the max id returned.
Get the user id object from the returned from the matching users search result, then call your original function again with the numeric id.
A couple of very important notes:
Notice that I called the search function for users with a count of 100. You can pick any number, but contrary to other SO posts, the first user is not always the user you want in a search. The search can and will match partials, and not always according to an exact match first. How do I know? I have production instagram apps. I will qualify and say that usually the results are in the first 2-3 matches. Decide what is cheaper; repeated API calls that bring you closer to the limit, or 1 large bulk call where you are certain to get all the results.
The python Instagram API last I checked does a terrible job returning paging information. You actually get the paging URL which defeats the purpose of the python API itself to get additional pages. Your options are extract the next id parameter from the URL using urlparse or something similar, or fix the API to return the paging data as an object per the json (I've done both). What happens is the API itself is discarding part of the json and only giving you the URL which normally you don't want/need.
In your example, here's the search response:
{
"meta": {
"code": 200
},
"data": [
{
"username": "kallaucyahoocojp",
"bio": "ツイッタフォロワー増加サービス",
"website": "http://twitterフォロワー.jp",
"profile_picture": "http://images.ak.instagram.com/profiles/anonymousUser.jpg",
"full_name": "Kallauc",
"id": "1191812153"
}
]
}
Revising your call:
api = InstagramAPI(access_token=access_token)
profile = api.user(user_id="1191812153")
I should note that you may not need to call the user call if you did a search because you may simply have all the info you need. It will depend on what you are doing of course, so I am giving you the general method to use the rest of the user api.
For extracting profile info using Instagram API, userid is required.
The endpoint for extracting userID:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/search?q=[username]&access_token=[HERE]
The endpoint for extracting profile info:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/[userid]/?access_token=[HERE]
Note that before extracting information, check the login permissions for your access token.
