# The SoftLayer API client package is here:

import SoftLayer.API

# Used for pretty printing output.

import pprint

# It's possible to define your SoftLayer API username and key diredtly in the

# package, but it's far easier to define them before creating your API client.

api_username = 'set me'

api_key = 'set me too'

# Usage:

# SoftLayer.API.Client([API Service], <object id>, [username], [API key])

#

# API Service: The name of the API service you wish to connect to.

# id: An optional id to initialize your API service with, if you're

# interacting with a specific object. If you don't need to specify

# an id then pass None to the client.

# username: Your SoftLayer API username.

# API key: Your SoftLayer API key,

client = SoftLayer.API.Client('SoftLayer_Account', None, api_username, api_key)

# Once your client object is created you can call API methods for that service

# directly against your client object. A call may throw an exception on error,

# so it's best to try your call and catch exceptions.

#

# This example calls the getObject() method in the SoftLayer_Account API

# service. <http://sldn.softlayer.com/wiki/index.php/SoftLayer_Account::getObject>

# It retrieves basic account information, and is a great way to test your API

# account and connectivity.

#

# If you're using Python 3.x then you'll need to change these except and

# print() statements accordingly.

try:

pprint.pprint(client.getObject())

except Exception, e:

print e

# attached to it, and the datacenter those servers are in. We’ll retrieve our

# extra information using a nested object mask. After we have the ticket we’ll

# update it with the text ‘Hello!’.

# Declare an API client to connect to the SoftLayer_Ticket API service.
