[SOLVED] How to delete a DNS record using Softlayer API with Powershell

How to delete a DNS record using Softlayer API with Powershell

I need to write a PowerShell script, which deletes DNS record from Softlayer cloud, using Softlayer REST API.

The below command should do my purpose. I have $headers correctly setup. My issue is with $uri and $jsonObject.

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $uri -Headers $headers -Method POST -ContentType application/json -Body $jsonObject

can anybody please give me an example of values for $jsonObject and $uri? Should $uri be like below? If yes, what is the Object.json , do I need to define it?

$uri = "https://api.service.softlayer.com/rest/v3.1/SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord/deleteObject/Object.json"

Solution

I found how: $uri="https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Dns_Domain/$domainID/getResourceRecords.json"

Below will return a json file which has all records in our domain: Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $uri -Headers $headers -Method GET -ContentType application/json

From received json file ,we can extract record ID ($recordID in below) of the record that we want to delete and then run below: $deleteResoutceURI= "https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Dns_Domain_ResourceRecord/$recordID/deleteObject.json"

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $deleteResoutceURI -Headers $headers -Method POST -ContentType application/json
