Sample Request/Response
Call the toggle_source_feed module (Python 3) to toggle the source of a failover group's feed. This module imports names from the api_auth module.
import json
import requests
from api_auth import APICredentials, APIParams
class FailoverGroup:
def __init__(self):
self.host = "https://services.uplynk.com"
def run(self):
self._toggle_source_feed()
def _toggle_source_feed(self):
failover_group_id = 'e8d6b5cb940c40cc9ec6ad081a38f3f0' # Replace with the ID for the desired failover group.
url = "{}{}{}{}".format(self.host, "/api/v4/failover-groups/", failover_group_id, "/set_no_slicer")
payload = {
'no_slicer': True
}
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
response = requests.put(
url, params=APIParams(APICredentials()).get_params({}), data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers
)
print(response.status_code)
FailoverGroup().run()
