Attached is an example of Python script that calls UCSD northbound Web Services API. This has been tested with Python 2.7 and UCSD 5.2. The example show how to execute a Workflow in UCSD.
Here is the Script:
import urllib2
import json
import time
ip_addr = "10.95.4.23"
username = "admin"
password = "admin"
workflowName = "DeployESXi"
def getApiKey (ip_addr, username, password):
ip_addr = ip_addr
username = username
password = password
url = 'http://'+ip_addr+'/app/api/rest?formatType=json&opName=getRESTKey&user='+username+'&password='+password
# This packages the request (it doesn't make it)
request = urllib2.Request(url=url)
# Sends the request and catches the response
response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
return response.read().replace("\"", "")
apiKey = getApiKey(ip_addr, username, password)
url = 'http://'+ip_addr+'/app/api/rest?formatType=json&opName=userAPIGetMyLoginProfile&opData={}'
# This packages the request (it doesn't make it)
request = urllib2.Request(url=url, headers={"X-Cloupia-Request-Key" : apiKey})
# Sends the request and catches the response
response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
print response.read()
#######Execute a workflow#######
url = 'http://'+ip_addr+'/app/api/rest?formatType=json&opName=userAPISubmitWorkflowServiceRequest&opData={param0:"DeployESXi",param1:{"list":[{"name":"Hostname","value":"Nike"}]},param2:-1}'
request = urllib2.Request(url=url, headers={"X-Cloupia-Request-Key" : apiKey})
response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
j = json.loads(response.read())
serviceRequest = j['serviceResult']
print serviceRequest
######Check for completion######
flag = 0
while flag == 0:
time.sleep(30)
url = 'http://'+ip_addr+'/app/api/rest?formatType=json&opName=userAPIGetWorkflowStatus&opData={param0:'+str(serviceRequest)+'}'
request = urllib2.Request(url=url, headers={"X-Cloupia-Request-Key" : apiKey})
response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
j = json.loads(response.read())
status = j['serviceResult']
if status == 1:
print "Workflow "+workflowName+" with SR ID "+str(serviceRequest)+" is In Progress"
elif status == 3:
print "Workflow "+workflowName+" with SR ID "+str(serviceRequest)+" is Complete"
flag = 1
elif status == 2:
print "Workflow "+workflowName+" with SR ID "+str(serviceRequest)+" Failed"
flag = 1
