Adding SSH keys to Softlayer JSON order for Bare metal

Question

I was wondering how to add ssh keys that are within softlayer to be added to a json bare metal order. Through the GUI, it would be added at the end of the order before you click submit

wondering if it's just with:

productOrder = { "quantity": 1, "location": 1234, "packageId": 1234, "sshKeyIds": 1234, "hardware": [ ...

I did a verifyOrder() but not sure if it's correct

If you are using: SoftLayer_Product_Order::placeOrder method, take a look the following example:

"""
Order a new server with SSH Keys

productOrder = {

}

# Create a SoftLayer API client object
client = SoftLayer.Client(username=USERNAME, api_key=API_KEY)

try:
    """
    verifyOrder() will check your order for errors. Replace this with a call
    to placeOrder() when you're ready to order. Both calls return a receipt
    object that you can use for your records.

    Once your order is placed it'll go through SoftLayer's approval and
    provisioning process. When it's done you'll have a new
    SoftLayer_Hardware_Server object and server ready to use.

    receipt = client['Product_Order'].verifyOrder(productOrder)
