CDN API reference

CDN API reference

The SoftLayer Application Programming Interface (commonly called the SLAPI), provided by IBM Cloud®, is the development interface that gives developers and system administrators direct interaction with the IBM Cloud Infrastructure backend system.

The SLAPI implements many of the features in the customer portal: if an interaction is possible in the Customer Portal, it also can be accomplished in the SLAPI. Because you can interact with all portions of the IBM Cloud Infrastructure environment programmatically, within the SLAPI, you can use the API to automate tasks.

The SLAPI is a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) system. Each call involves sending data toward an API endpoint and receiving structured data in return. The format used to send and receive data with the SLAPI depends on which implementation of the API you choose. The SLAPI currently uses SOAP, XML-RPC, or REST for data transmission.

For more information about SLAPI, or about the IBM Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN) service APIs, see the following resources in the IBM Cloud Development Network:

To get started, here is a recommended API call sequence to follow:

  • listVendors - Provides the list of supported vendors.
  • verifyOrder - Verifies whether the order can be placed.
  • placeOrder - Creates the CDN account with a given vendor. Up to 10 CDN mappings can be created after a successful placeOrder call.
  • createDomainMapping - Creates the CDN Mappings
  • verifyDomainMapping - Changes CDN status to RUNNING

You can use the other APIs after you've followed the previous sequence.

Example Code is available for each step in this call sequence.

You must use the API username and API Key of a user with CDN_ACCOUNT_MANAGE permission for most of the API calls shown in this document. Check with your account's Master user if you require this permission to be enabled for you. (Each IBM Cloud customer account is provided with one Master user.)

API for Vendor

listVendors

This API allows the user to list the supported CDN Vendors. The vendorName is needed to create a CDN account and get started with ordering your CDN.

  • Parameters- None

  • Return- (Required) A collection of type SoftLayer_Container_Network_CdnMarketplace_Vendor.

    The Vendor container and a usage example can be viewed here: Vendor container

API for Account

verifyCdnAccountExists

Checks whether a CDN account exists for the user calling the API, for the given vendorName.

  • Parameters- vendorName- (Required) Provide the name of a valid CDN provider.
  • Return- true if an account exists, else false.

API for Domain Mapping

createDomainMapping

Using the provided inputs, this function creates a domain mapping for the given vendor and associates it with the IBM Cloud Infrastructure Account ID of the user. The CDN account must first be created by using placeOrder for this API to work (see an example of the placeOrder API call in the Code examples). After successfully creating the CDN, a defaultTTL is created with a value of 3600 seconds.

  • Parameters- A collection of type SoftLayer_Container_Network_CdnMarketplace_Configuration_Input.

You can view all of the attributes in the Input container here:

Input container

The following attributes are part of the Input container and can be provided when creating a domain mapping (attributes are optional unless otherwise noted):

  • vendorName - (Required) Provide the name of a valid IBM Cloud CDN provider.

    • origin - (Required) Provide the origin server address as a string.
    • originType - (Required) Origin type can be HOST_SERVER or OBJECT_STORAGE.
    • domain - (Required) Provide your hostname as a string.
    • protocol - (Required) Supported protocols are HTTP, HTTPS, or HTTP_AND_HTTPS.
    • certificateType - (Required) for HTTPS protocol. SHARED_SAN_CERT or WILDCARD_CERT.
    • path - Path from which the cached content is served. Default path is /*.
    • httpPort, httpsPort, or both - (Required for Host Server) These two options must correspond to the wanted protocol. If the protocol is HTTP, then httpPort must be set, and httpsPort must not be set. Likewise, if the protocol is HTTPS, then httpsPort must be set, and httpPort must not be set. If the protocol is HTTP_AND_HTTPS, then both httpPort and httpsPort must be set. Akamai has certain limitations on port numbers. See the FAQ for allowed port numbers.
    • header - Specifies host header information that is used by the origin server.
    • respectHeader - A Boolean value that, if set to true, causes TTL settings in the origin to override CDN TTL settings.
    • cname - Provide an alias to the hostname. The CNAME is generated if one is not provided.
    • bucketName - (Required for Object Storage only) Bucket name for your S3 Object Storage.
    • fileExtension - (optional for Object Storage) File extensions that are allowed to be cached.
    • cacheKeyQueryRule - The following options are available to configure Cache Key behavior. If no cacheKeyQueryRule arguments are supplied, it defaults to "include-all".
      • include-all - Includes all query arguments default.
      • ignore-all - Ignores all query arguments.
      • ignore: space separated query-args - Ignores those specific query arguments (for example, ignore: query1 query2).
      • include: space separated query-args - Includes those specific query arguments (for example, include: query1 query2).
    • dynamicContentAcceleration - (Required for Dynamic Content Acceleration only) Provide the DCA parameters. DCA container

  • Return - A collection of type SoftLayer_Container_Network_CdnMarketplace_Configuration_Mapping.

    The collection provides a uniqueId value, which must be sent as input for subsequent API calls related to mapping and origin path.

    Mapping container

deleteDomainMapping

Deletes the domain mapping based on the uniqueId. The domain mapping must be in one of the following states: RUNNING, STOPPED, DELETED, ERROR, CNAME_CONFIGURATION, or SSL_CONFIGURATION.

  • Parameters- uniqueId- (Required) the unique ID of the mapping to be deleted.

  • Return- A collection of type SoftLayer_Container_Network_CdnMarketplace_Configuration_Mapping.

    Mapping container

verifyDomainMapping

Verifies the status of the CDN, and updates the status of the CDN mapping if it changed. When a CDN mapping is created initially, its status shows as CNAME_CONFIGURATION. At this point, you must update the DNS record so that the CDN mapping points the hostname to the CNAME. Check with your DNS provider if you have questions about how the update is done and how long it might take for the change to propagate on the internet. Typically, it takes 15 - 30 minutes. After that time, this verifyDomainMapping API must be called to verify whether the CNAME chain is complete. If the CNAME chain is complete, the CDN-mapping status changes to RUNNING.

This API can be called at any time to get the latest CDN-mapping status. The domain mapping must be in one of the following states: RUNNING or CNAME_CONFIGURATION.

  • Parameters- uniqueId - (Required) The unique ID of the mapping that you want to verify.

  • Return- A collection of type SoftLayer_Container_Network_CdnMarketplace_Configuration_Mapping.

  • Return- A collection of type SoftLayer_Container_Network_CdnMarketplace_Configuration_Mapping.

    Mapping container

retryHttpsActionRequest

You can attempt to enable the HTTPS SHARED_SAN_CERT type mapping again or disable when mapping is in DELETE_ERROR state.
