Does the SoftLayer API return the ACTIVE or INACTIVE status of an image?

Question

I'm trying to get a list of images that are inactive. Does the SoftLayer API return the ACTIVE or INACTIVE status of an image? Thanks!

I seem to get faster, better, and more answers when I [include just a little snippet of code](http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve). probably because it is much easier for others to copy/paste/modify rather than writing an example from scratch, and programmers can more generally read the code to quickly see the problem regardless of what language the question was written in. — Jeff Puckett, Apr 28 '16 at 19:33

SoftLayer API returns both images, active and inactive, you can retrieve only inactive images with the following rest call:

https://$user:$apiKey@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getBlockDeviceTemplateGroups?objectFilter={"blockDeviceTemplateGroups":{"statusId":{"operation":"2"}}}

Method: Get
