AVX::REST and AVX::JSON

These commands are used via scripts in order to communicate and push files to any REST endpoint.
URL Endpoint URL to hit the REST
Request_type “GET”, “PUT”, “POST” or “DELETE”
Header_json

AVX::JSON(json_data,seq_no=0,properties={‘sleep’:0,’wait’:0})

Json_data is the json value to be passed to REST
request_entity_json AVX::JSON(json_data,seq_no=0,properties={‘sleep’:0,’wait’:0})
response_type?required_param Path_of_the_param is the query and other params which can be provided as string itself

To pass variables when using AVX::REST:

  1. Execute REST call.
  2. Store the value called “Signature”. 
    auth_url  = "https://{}/axapi/v3/auth".format(deviceip)
    headerjson_auth = {"Content-Type": "application/json"}  
    bodyjson_auth = {"credentials": {"username": username ,"password": '@$avx_password@$' }}      
    AVX::REST(dev_name,auth_url,'POST',json.dumps(headerjson_auth),json.dumps(bodyjson_auth),'json?sig=authresponse/signature')
    {
  "authresponse" : {
     "signature":"6181d42578cc03dd1088d58884637e",
     "description":"the signature should be set in Authorization header for following request."
   }
}

    The value is stored in ’json?sig=authresponse/signature’. In the above, json signature lies under authresponse, hence the response_type?required_param will be json?sig=authresponse/signature.

  3. The variable signature (sig) is reused in the following REST call’s header. 
    url = 'https://{}/axapi/v3/slb/service-group/{}'.format(deviceip,value)
headerjson = {"Authorization": "A10 $$sig$$", "Content-Type": "application/json"}  
bodyjson = {"service-group": { "member-list":  state_pool_dict[value] }}
AVX::REST(dev_name,url,'POST',json.dumps(headerjson),json.dumps(bodyjson))
