API - Operation Start & Stop

This text provides instructions for performing Start and Stop operations using the Zomro service API. Each operation includes the necessary request parameters, methods, and example requests using curl. Each step is accompanied by a description of the expected result after the operation is performed.

To perform the Start operation using the API, we use the following function.

URL:

https://api.zomro.com/

Method: POST

Request Body (Form-data):

Parameter	Example Value	Required Parameter	Value Description
func	service.stop	Yes	Function to initiate the delete operation on the instance
auth	21fc199...c43f71	No	Session token. This is one of the authorization options. More details on other options are described here
out	json	Yes	Response type to expect
elid	5116804	Yes	ID of the service to perform the operation on

Example of performing the Start operation

For example, we use the service:

URL:

https://api.zomro.com/

Method: POST

Request Body (Form-data):

Parameter	Value
func	instances.stop
auth	21fc199...c43f71
out	json
elid	5116804

Here is an example of a request that can be executed from the console:

curl --location 'https://api.zomro.com/' \
--form 'func="service.stop"' \
--form 'auth="bf15875098100189d4e47484"' \
--form 'elid="5116804"' \
--form 'out="json"'

After executing the request, we can see that the server is in the process of stopping.

After the operation is completed, we see that the service is in the "Temporary suspended" status, which means that the service is stopped.

Example of performing the Stop operation using the API

For example, we use the service:

URL:

https://api.zomro.com/

Method: POST

Request Body (Form-data):

Parameter	Value
func	instances.start
auth	21fc199...c43f71
out	json
elid	5116804

Here is an example of a request that can be executed from the console:

curl --location 'https://api.zomro.com/' \
--form 'func="service.start"' \
--form 'auth="bf15875098100189d4e47484"' \
--form 'elid="5116804"' \
--form 'out="json"'

After executing the request, we can see that the server is in the process of starting.

After the operation is completed, we see that the service is in the "Active" status, which means that the service is started and ready for use.
