Scalr API Documentation

[Igor V. Savchenko (DicsyDel)]

Scalr team is glad to announce availability of the Scalr API
documentation: http://wiki.scalr.net/API_Documentation

This is the initial version, so we are open for your comments and
suggestions.

[Martin Sweeney]

Fantastic news!

The API is really easy to use and the sample code especially helpful.

After a few false starts (declaring Timestamp as TimeStamp as the
sample requests show - I'd change this in the documentation but I
don't have the correct permissions to edit wiki pages) and IP
addresses (wildcard on the last region doesn't seem to work, eg
123.456.789.* so I added *.*.*.* ), I got a valid response.

Some small problems:
- On the action 'ListScripts', only 'Shared' and 'User-contributed'
scripts are returned, not 'Custom', which is what I was looking for.
ListRoles does not suffer this problem.
- GetFarmStats gives me an empty result set, with or without
supplying a 'Date' request parameter:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <GetFarmStatsResponse>
<TransactionID>aa663965-7163-476c-98bd-c44b1b67d6a8</TransactionID>
<StatisticsSet/> </GetFarmStatsResponse>
(this is for a valid FarmID, although I get the same response for
farms that I don't own (eg, I tried 12345 and got the same result))

Thanks,

Martin.

Brilliant, thanks.

Just encountered this php error on calling the 'ExecuteScript' action:

Fatal error: Call to a member function GetOne() on a non-object in /
usr/local/www/scalr/src/api/class.ScalrAPI20090507.php on line 160

Martin.

[Igor V. Savchenko (DicsyDel)]

Oh, sorry for this. Fixed.
Thanks, once again.

[Martin Sweeney]

No problem.

One thing I'd really like is the ability to launch a new instance and
terminate a specific instance of a role...are there any plans for
this?

These are the main functions that I find myself hitting the scalr.net
admin panel for whenever I want to push a new release of my app...and
I'd prefer to do it all from my release management app. Less moving
parts = better.

Martin.

Sure. We will add those methods to the next version of Scalr API.

Splendid! Any news on when I can expect this, just so I can plan?

Thanks,

Is it possible to get a list of instances for a given farm?

I would like to build some monitoring advanced monitoring around the
API for our App instances.

Thanks... this is great news!!

Ability to get list of farm roles and instances will be included to
the next release.

[Amey Jain]

Is the ability to change the scalr default ports is included in the APIs? I am not able to find it in the documentation.

Thanks
Amey

[Michael Lochead]

Amey, 

You are talking about the ports for agent? 

I don’t believe it’s possible to change default via API or otherwise.. 

Thanks,

ML

Yes I was looking to change it from the API, from UI it is possible to change the default ports from farm role screen.

[Amey Jain]

If there any way I can contribute this functionlity in the coming API versions. I see most of the configs coming in the next release but this one is missing.
I can contribute if need be and API code is opensourced.

[Marc O'Brien]

Hi Amey,

We have no plans to add this specific functionality to the API presently.  However, could you help us understand your use case for this or the problem that you are attempting to solve? This will help us ensure there is not a better way to approach the issue.

Many thanks,
Wm. Marc O'Brien
