How can i get the list of virtual servers created by a specific user?

Question

I want to get the list of VMs created by a specific user. Does SoftLayer provide any API for this purpose?

Answer 1

You can use this request for retrieving the list of virtual guests created by a user’s username:

https://$username:$apiKey@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getVirtualGuests.json?objectMask=mask[billingItem[orderItem[order[userRecord[username]]]]]&objectFilter={"virtualGuests":{"billingItem":{"orderItem":{"order":{"userRecord":{"username":{"operation":"$someUsername"}}}}}}}
Method: GET

Note: Replace $username, $apiKey and $someUsername with your data
