Listing all public image templates

How do you list all of public image templates like the list you would get by going to "Devices" -> "Manage" -> "Images" then selecting "Public Images"?

I can see that using "SoftLayer_Account", there are these operations I can do that are related:

getBlockDeviceTemplateGroups();
getPrivateBlockDeviceTemplateGroups();
getSharedBlockDeviceTemplateGroups();

And "SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest_Block_Device_Template_Group" offers

getPublicCustomerOwnedImages();

which the getPublicCustomerOwnedImages() gives the closest to what I want, except that it seems to exclude those created by "SoftLayer Technologies, Inc.".

So which API will give me the whole list?

Solution

  • you need to uset these method:

    to get the public images: http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest_Block_Device_Template_Group/getPublicImages

    to get the private images: http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Account/getBlockDeviceTemplateGroups
