So, experimenting with Plesk's REST API (available as of version 17.8) for a project at work, and I'm starting to get a feel for it. I've been trying to experiment with adding a domain, but it's been giving me errors when I have to specify the hosting type.
The request body itself is as follows:
{
"name":"example.com",
"hosting_type":"virtual",
"description":"Description goes here"
}
This gets the following cryptic response:
{
"code": 1014,
"message": "htype\/vrt_hst is specified but there is no hosting\/vrt_hst"
}
Per the documentation provided at /api/v2/swagger.yml, any of the following values should be allowed: virtual, standard_forwarding, frame_forwarding, none
No matter what I put in, however, I get a variant of the response above (htype\/{type} is specified but there is no hosting\/{type}).
At this point I'm kind of stuck; I'm not sure what to check, and any references when I try to look up the error code go to references on Plesk's XML API instead. What's the missing link here needed to get the request to work?
It looks like system user is not specified - hosting_settings. Try to add domain with full json request. Here is example:
{
"name": "example.com",
"description": "My website",
"hosting_type": "virtual",
"hosting_settings": {
"ftp_login": "test_login",
"ftp_password": "test_pwd"
},
"base_domain": {
"id": 7,
"name": "a10-52-41-48.qa.plesk.ru",
"guid": "b623e93d-dc72-4102-b5f0-ded427cf0fb1"
},
"parent_domain": {
"id": 7,
"name": "a10-52-41-48.qa.plesk.ru",
"guid": "b623e93d-dc72-4102-b5f0-ded427cf0fb1"
},
"owner_client": {
"id": 7,
"login": "a10-52-41-48.qa.plesk.ru",
"guid": "b623e93d-dc72-4102-b5f0-ded427cf0fb1",
"external_id": "b623e93d-dc72-4102-b5f0-ded427cf0fb1"
},
"ipv4": [
"212.192.122.46"
],
"ipv6": [
"2002:5bcc:18fd:c:123:123:123:123"
],
"plan": {
"name": "Unlimited"
}
}
