Call API

This function allows you to easily call any API. The format is

slcli call-api SoftLayer_Service method param1 param2 --id=1234 --mask="mask[id,name]"

Parameters should be in the order they are presented on sldn.softlayer.com. Any complex parameters (those that link to other datatypes) should be presented as JSON strings. They need to be enclosed in single quotes ('), and variables and strings enclosed in double quotes (").

For example: {"hostname":"test",ssh_keys:[{"id":1234}]}

SoftLayer.CLI.call_api:cli

Shell

SoftLayer.shell.core:cli

MetaData
