SolusVM Client API

ricardo

I have a basic wrapper script to log into the solusvm UI, generate an API key for me and then complete any commands using the API.

I can't seem to find a good page to describe the various options available to me via the API, and how that may differ over SolusVM versions.

At the moment I see options to boot,reboot,shutdown,info (statistics about hardware usage).

Anyone know of a good resource that lists the full potential? Scraping the UI pages is doable but I'd much prefer to do things via a more stable API.

No mention of what features are avaliable between solusvm releases

Thanks. That's it? Ahh, I thought there would be more functionality.

What I was hoping for was an API call to list distros an a separate call to reinstall the OS. That way the only manual part of the process for me is entering solusvm details into my own system.

Seems like I'll have to do it in the UI. Most/all solusvm implementations have the same layout and URL structure, and scraping is always brittle... but it's better than manual.

Yeah, when I started my terminal-Solus project I thought there'd be more functionality. I kind of ran out of things to implement so the terminal client isn't that cool

Jonchun, that's the admin's API.

I have what I need now. The UI's are generally similar to write some scraping code for.

Ah your post didn't say anything and I skimmed through it. I assumed you were writing it for hosting companies. Hah.
