You can set the order of the results by setting the STRING value of the parameter orderby to one of the following :

  • none
  • id
  • name (default)
  • slug
  • type
  • parent_id
  • date
  • resource__in (preserve order given in the resource__in array)

 

You can set the direction of the ordering of the results by setting the STRING value of the parameter order to one of the following :

  • ASC  (default)
  • DESC

 

You can further limit the results based on attributes the resources may have:

NameTypeNotes/Example
attr_keySTRINGThe name of the attribute. Example: network-fqdn
attr_valueSTRINGThe value of any attribute, or if attr_key is specified, the value of the attribute defined in attr_key.
attr_compareSTRING

If both attr_key and attr_value are given, the results are by default compared based on the value given as attr_value being equal to the value stored in the database. You can optionally change this by setting the STRING value of attr_compare to one of the following:

  • =  (default)
  • !=
  • ﹥
  • ﹥=
  • ﹤
  • ﹤=
  • LIKE
  • NOT LIKE
  • IN
  • NOT IN
  • BETWEEN
  • NOT BETWEEN
Note

When attr_compare is set to IN, NOT IN, BETWEEN, NOT BETWEEN, then attr_value must either be an array or a comma separated string.

 

You can search on multiple attributes by including an array of attribute options:

NameTypeNotes/Example
attributesARRAY
NameTypeNotes/Example
resource_link_typeSTRING

The resource linkage relation name. Valid values include:

For type = dnsmodule:

Valid ValueNotes
dnsViewACLLinks a ACL and a Group. The View (Group) must be resource1, resource id and the ACL resource must be resource2 in the linkage table
dnsViewServerLinks a View (Group) with Server (DNS Connector), and the Group resource must be as resource1 and DNS Module as resource2. Used for attaching DNS servers to DNS Groups.
dnsZoneMasterLinks a DNS Zone resource with the Server that will be exported as Master. The DNS Zone must be in resource1 and the server as resource2. Used for Directly attaching zones to servers.
dnsZoneSlaveLinks a DNS Zone resource with the Server that will be exported as Slave. The DNS Zone must be in resource1 and the server as resource2. Used for Directly attaching zones to servers.
dnsZoneServer

Links a DNS Zone resource with a Server resource. The DNS Zone must be in resource1 and the server as resource2. Used to directly attach servers to zones.

dnsZoneViewLinks a DNS Zone resource with a Group. The DNS Zone must be resource1, the Group resource as resource 2.


resource_link_columnINTEGER

The column to be used for the parameter in "resource_link_value". Valid integer values are:

'1' = to use resource1 in the first column

'2' = to use resource2 in the second column

resource_link_valueINTEGERThe resource id for the resource_linkage table to search (Example: "10697")


Limit Results by Attributes:

You can further limit the results based on attributes the resources may have:

NameTypeNotes/Example
attributesARRAY

You can search on multiple attributes by including an array of attribute options:

var data = {
     "type: "entry",
     "attributes": [
"attr_key": "
 {
               "attr_key": "_section",
               "attr_value": "105",
          },
          {
               "attr_key": "address-mail-state",
               "attr_value": "CA",
          }
     ],
     "resources_per_page: 10
}

 

You can restrict the range of the resources returned.

NameTypeNotes/Example
resources_per_pageINTEGERHow many resources to return.
offsetINTEGERHow many resources to offset (the initial resource is 0, not 1).
pagedINTEGERThe page to return (starts at 1, not 0). This parameter is provided for convenience and is used to calculate the offset where: offset=(paged-1)*resources_per_page
Example URL/api/v1/api.php?target=resource&action=get&id=7

add

URL/api/v1/api.php?target=resource&action=addDescriptionAdd a resource.
attr_keySTRINGThe name of the attribute. Example: network-fqdn
attr_valueSTRINGThe value of any attribute, or if attr_key is specified, the value of the attribute defined in attr_key.
attr_compareSTRING

If both attr_key and attr_value are given, the results are by default compared based on the value given as attr_value being equal to the value stored in the database. You can optionally change this by setting the STRING value of attr_compare to one of the following:

  • = (default)
  • !=
  • ﹥
  • ﹥=
  • ﹤
  • ﹤=
  • LIKE
  • NOT LIKE
  • IN
  • NOT IN
  • BETWEEN

  • NOT BETWEEN

    Note

    When attr_compare is set to IN, NOT IN, BETWEEN, NOT BETWEEN, then attr_value must either be an array or a comma separated string.


attr_loadBOOL

Load resource attributes along with the resource entry


Result Ordering:

NameTypeNotes/Example
orderSTRING

Set the direction of the ordering of the results by ascending or descending order. Valid values are:

  • ASC  (default)
  • DESC
orderbySTRING

The parameter to order results by. Valid values include:

  • none
  • id
  • name (default)
  • slug
  • type
  • parent_id
  • date
  • resource__in (preserve order given in the resource__in array)


Range Selection / Paging:

You can restrict the range of the resources returned.

NameTypeNotes/Example
resources_per_pageINTEGERHow many resources to return per page, e.g.: '10' .
offsetINTEGERHow many resources to offset from the initial resource, to use as the first resource provided in the return list (the initial resource is 0, not 1).
pagedINTEGERThe page to return (starts at 1, not 0). This parameter is provided for convenience and is used to calculate the offset where: offset=(paged-1)*resources_per_page

Required Parameters

(meta[type] = entry)

NameTypeNotes/Example
meta[section_id]INTEGERID of the section that the entry will be assigned to

ERROR:{"success":0,"message":"Entries must be assigned to a section"}

Required Parameters


NameTypeNotes/Example
meta[name]STRINGName of the resource
meta[type]STRINGType of resource (entry, section, field, etc.)


Optional Parameters


NameTypeNotes/Example
meta[parent_id]INTEGERID of the parent resource
meta[category_id]INTEGERID of the category


Required Parameters

(meta[type] = entry)


One of the following:

NameTypeNotes/Example
meta[section_id]INTEGERID of the section that the entry will be assigned to
meta[section]STRINGSlug of the section that the entry will be assigned to


Optional Parameters

(meta[type] = entry)


NameTypeNotes/Example
fields[]ARRAY

Entry field values (for fields that have already been assigned to the section) can be populated when the entry is created.

The format is field[field-slug][field-instance]. If the field instance is left blank, it will simply be the next value in the instance array. For example:

fields[network-fqdn][]=example.com&fields[network-fqdn][]=test.com

would be written in JSON as

var fields = {
     "network-fqdn": [
          "example.com",
          "test.com"
     ]
}

Please note that the Field Slug might differ from the Field Name! To find the correct slug to use in adding resources with field values go the Section of the Resource you are adding, click 'Edit', then click the name of the Fields you will be populating. An Edit Field box will pop up which displays the Field's slug.

A field can be added to a section multiple times. The field instance is used to keep track of which field occurrence we are referring. In this example, the network-fqdn field had been added twice to the section so we were able to store two values for it.

meta[custom_id]STRINGA custom ID for the entry. In the past this has been called the Resource Holder ID or Customer ID. Most recently it was implemented as a text field with the slug "6c-resourceholder-id." Now it is a fundamental part the entry type resources.


Required Parameters

meta[field_type]STRING

Type of field

  • text
