Rackspace Load Balancer GET Response API

Advertisement

Rackspace Load Balancer is a Cost Effective Great Pay as You Go Multi-tenant Cloud Service. Here Are Some Examples of GET Response API. We will use CocoaRestClient on OS X for demonstrating the usages. Without really the need to login to Rackspace Cloud dashboard, with API, we can fetch the data as JSON response. We can create a small web app to convert this JSON data to human readable format, for reading privately.

 

Rackspace Load Balancer GET Response API

 

So we need to read the official documents first :

Vim
1
http://docs.rackspace.com/loadbalancers/api/v1.0/clb-devguide/content/load-balancers.html

At the time writing this guide, this the current version. You must ensure the correct version. From the documentations we can see that we will need the account ID :

---

Vim
1
/v1.0/{account}/loadbalancers

Here is the full documentation only for GET request :

Vim
1
http://docs.rackspace.com/loadbalancers/api/v1.0/clb-devguide/content/GET_listLoadBalancers_v1.0__account__loadbalancers_load-balancers.html

We can fetch data by appending query in this way after the common part :

Vim
1
?changes-since=2014-08-30T08:07:08-0500

This can give us data of the changes since 2014-08-30.

Working With Rackspace Load Balancer GET Response API

 

Actually we should first follow the newer guide for Authentication part :

Vim
1
http://docs.rackspace.com/loadbalancers/api/v1.0/clb-getting-started/content/Service_Access_Endpoints-d1e753.html

Otherwise we will get a 401 response :

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
6
HTTP 401 Unauthorized
 
Content-Length: 0
Www-Authenticate: Keystone uri=https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0
Via: 1.1 Rackspace Cloud Load Balancer API v1.22.10 (Repose/2.11.0)
Server: Jetty(8.0.y.z-SNAPSHOT)

The tool is practically a visual way of using cURL :

Vim
1
http://mmattozzi.github.io/cocoa-rest-client/

So we can send a request in this fashion :

Vim
1
2
https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0/tokens -d
'{ "auth":{ "RAX-KSKEY:apiKeyCredentials":{ "username":"theUserName", "apiKey":"00a00000a000a0000000a000a00aaa0a" } } }' -H "Content-type: application/json"

Obviously there is documentation for this client, but for cURL :

Vim
1
http://docs.rackspace.com/servers/api/v2/cs-gettingstarted/content/curl_auth.html

replacing the arbitrary numbers and letters and using the proper format, we can GET a response in JSON :

Vim
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
PUT https://dfw.loadbalancers.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0/123456/loadbalancers/ABCD
 
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/json
X-Auth-Token: bizarre number
 
{
    "loadBalancer": {
        "httpsRedirect": true
    }
}

For this website the HTTPS redirection is set to true. In this way, we can fetch :

Vim
1

3
4

6

9
10

12

{
    "loadBalancer": {
        "name": "TCW Media Group",
        "id": ABCD,
        "protocol": "HTTPS",
        "port": 443,
        "algorithm": "LEAST_CONNECTIONS",
        "status": "ACTIVE",
        "virtualIps": [
            {
                "address": "111.1.11.111",
                "id": 77,
                "type": "PUBLIC",
                "ipVersion": "IPV4"
            }
        ],
        "nodeCount": 1,
        "httpsRedirect": true,
        "halfClosed": false,
        "connectionLogging": {
            "enabled": true
        },
        "contentCaching": {
            "enabled": true
        }
    }
}

Without really creating an application, thus we can check whats going on.
