Example of creating an image

For example, let's create an image from Ubuntu 24.04 <https://releases.ubuntu.com/24.04/ubuntu-24.04-live-server-amd64.iso>:

URL: 
    
    
    https://api.zomro.com/

Method: POST

Request Body (Form-data):

Parameter | Value  
---|---  
func | v2.image.order.param  
auth | 21fc199...c43f71  
out | json  
sok | ok  
image_type | image  
skipbasket | on  
image_name | Ubuntu24  
region | Netherlands-2  
min_disk | 1  
min_ram | 1  
disk_format | iso  
os_distro | ubuntu  
os_version | 24  
architecture | x86_64  
url | <https://releases.ubuntu.com/24.04/ubuntu-24.04-live-server-amd64.iso>  
protected | on  
pricelist | 6854  
order_period | -50  
  
Here is an example request that can be executed from the console:
    
    
    curl --location 'https://api.zomro.com/' \
    --form 'func="v2.image.order.param"' \
    --form 'auth="0f6744198ec41bb23fe1c923"' \
    --form 'out="json"' \
    --form 'sok="ok"' \
    --form 'image_type="image"' \
    --form 'skipbasket="on"' \
    --form 'image_name="Ubuntu24"' \
    --form 'region="Netherlands-2"' \
    --form 'min_disk="1"' \
    --form 'min_ram="1"' \
    --form 'disk_format="iso"' \
    --form 'os_distro="ubuntu"' \
    --form 'os_version="22"' \
    --form 'architecture="x86_64"' \
    --form 'url="https://releases.ubuntu.com/24.04/ubuntu-24.04-live-server-amd64.iso"' \
    --form 'protected="on"' \
    --form 'pricelist="6854"' \
    --form 'order_period="-50"'

After executing the request, we see that the image creation has started. The current status is "Saving":

After the image is created, the status will change from "Saving" to "Active":

## **How to Get a List of All Images Using the API**

To do this, execute the following request format:

URL: 
    
    
    https://api.zomro.com/

Method: POST

Request Body (Form-data):

Parameter | Example Value | Required Parameter | Value Description  
---|---|---|---  
func | image | Yes | Function to get all images  
auth | 21fc199...c43f71 | No | Session token. This is one of the authorization options. More details on other options can be found [here](https://ispsystem.com/docs/b6c/developer-section/working-with-api/guide-to-ispsystem-software-api)  
out | json | Yes | Expected response type  
  
Let's try to execute the following request in the console:
    
    
    curl --location 'https://api.zomro.com/' \
    --form 'func="image"' \
    --form 'auth="1176dc887b147a3eb1da748e"' \
    --form 'out="json"'

We get the following result:

                    },
                    "transition": {
                        "$": "off"
                    },
                    "visibility": {
                        "$": "Private"
                    }
                },
            ],
        }
    }

We are interested in the data obtained in the following nesting:
    
    
    doc.elem.[]

To edit an image, execute the following request:

URL: 
    
    
    https://api.zomro.com/

Method: POST

Request Body (Form-data):

Parameter | Example Value | Required Parameter | Value Description  
---|---|---|---  
func | image.edit | Yes | Function to edit the image  
auth | 21fc199...c43f71 | No | Session token. This is one of the authorization options. More details on other options can be found [here](https://ispsystem.com/docs/b6c/developer-section/working-with-api/guide-to-ispsystem-software-api)  
out | json | Yes | Expected response type  
elid | 5206258 | Yes | Image ID. This value can be obtained in the response to the request to get all images  
image_name | Ubuntu24_new | No | Image name  
min_disk | 2 | No | Minimum disk size required in the instance to use this image  
min_ram | 3 | No | Minimum RAM size required in the instance to use this image  
os_distro | altlinux | No | OS name  
os_version | 8 | No | OS version  
architecture | x86_64 | No | Image architecture  
protected | off | No | Whether the image can be deleted  
  
Let's try to execute the following request in the console:
    
    
    curl --location 'https://api.zomro.com/' \
    --form 'func="image.edit"' \
    --form 'auth="00bef0b977845f71a1583a2c"' \
    --form 'out="json"' \
    --form 'sok="ok"' \
    --form 'elid="5206258"' \
    --form 'image_name="Ubuntu24_new"' \
    --form 'min_disk="2"' \
    --form 'min_ram="3"' \
    --form 'os_distro="altlinux"' \
    --form 'os_version="8"' \
    --form 'architecture="x86_64"' \
    --form 'protected="on"'

After executing the request, you can verify that the image data has changed:

Request Body (Form-data):

Parameter | Example Value | Required Parameter | Value Description  
---|---|---|---  
func | image.delete | Yes | Function to delete the image  
auth | 21fc199...c43f71 | No | Session token. This is one of the authorization options. More details on other options can be found [here](https://ispsystem.com/docs/b6c/developer-section/working-with-api/guide-to-ispsystem-software-api)  
out | json | Yes | Expected response type  
elid | 5206258 | Yes | Image ID. This value can be obtained in the response to the request to get all images  
  
Let's try to execute the following request in the console:
    
    
    curl --location 'https://api.zomro.com/' \
    --form 'func="image.delete"' \
    --form 'auth="9f467da30d0bd6c56fed1b58"' \
    --form 'out="json"' \
    --form 'elid="5206258"'

It is also worth noting that to delete an image, the "protected" status must be set to "off".

After executing the request, we see the successful deletion of the image.
