please tell me how to get available maintenance windows by using a SoftLayer REST API. I tried it in the following way, but it did not work.
curl -K support -d @Maintence.json -X POST https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Provisioning_Maintenance_Window/getMaintenceWindows
When executing the command, the following error message is displayed:
{"error":"End date must be a later date than begin date.","code":"SoftLayer_Exception"}
The contents of the JSON file are described below:
{
"parameters":[
{
"beginDate": "2016-12-22T00:00",
"endDate": "2016-12-29T00:00",
"locationId": 138124,
"slotsNeeded" : 1
}]
}
The proper API to use here is SoftLayer_Provisioning_Maintenance_Window::getMaintenanceWindows() as opposed to the misspelled getMaintenceWindows
The API payload is still the same.
curl -K support -d @Maintence.json -X POST https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Provisioning_Maintenance_Window/getMaintenanceWindows
{
"parameters":[
"2016-12-22T00:00",
"2016-12-29T00:00",
138124,
1
]
}
When making API calls to the softlayer API, the parameters are not named, just listed in order that matches the documentation.
