[Question] Print price list ID is required

[critix]

I want to print a list of prices to get the right ID to create a subnet. I tried to look for a way to give my account ID through the ApiClient but this didn't need the ID. When I run the code it give me following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: ID is required to invoke public abstract java.util.List com.softlayer.api.service.product.item.Price$Service.getPackageReferences()
at com.softlayer.api.RestApiClient$ServiceProxy.invokeService(RestApiClient.java:282)
at com.softlayer.api.RestApiClient$ServiceProxy.invoke(RestApiClient.java:466)
at com.sun.proxy.$Proxy8.getPackageReferences(Unknown Source)
at applicatie.getPrices(applicatie.java:430)
at applicatie.main(applicatie.java:78)

This is the code I use:

ApiClient client = new RestApiClient()
.withCredentials("OUR USERNAME",
"THE KEY");
getPrices(client,account);

public static void getPrices(ApiClient client, Account account) {
    Price.Service servicePrices = Price.service(client);

    List<Prices> p = servicePrices.getPackageReferences();

    for (Prices price : p) {
        System.out.println(price.getId() + price.getItemPriceId());
    }
}

Does anyone have the code to print a list of ID's and Names to find the subnet priceId. Or does someone have the code to create one.

In order to call that method, you must already have an ID on the price. There are other ways to get this pricing information. @raulcabero, can you provide API information for obtaining the prices? Also, in the future, the easiest forum for asking general API questions is via the SLDN forum at https://forums.softlayer.com/forum/softlayer-developer-network

Hello,

To get the list of prices you can call the following method http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Product_Package/getItems you only need to specify the correct package. To get the list of packages use the following method http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Account/getActivePackages.
Here an example in java to get the list of prices of you want

package api.examples;

import com.google.gson.Gson;
import com.softlayer.api.ApiClient;
import com.softlayer.api.RestApiClient;
import com.softlayer.api.service.product.Package;

public class GetListPrices {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String user = "set me";
        String apikey = "set me";

        // the package id you wish to see the list of prices
        Long packageId = new Long(0);

        // Declare the API client
        ApiClient client = new RestApiClient().withCredentials(user, apikey);
        Package.Service packageService = Package.service(client, packageId);

        try {
            Gson gson = new Gson();
            System.out.println(gson.toJson(packageService.getItemPrices()));

        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Unable to retrieve the prices. "
                    + e.getMessage());
        }
    }

}

I hope it helps you
