Adding asset using API

Anthias
1

Hi there,

I’m exploring the API to add assets to Anthias.

For now, I’ve been able to GET and DELETE and PATCH assets (e.g. flipping the ‘is_enabled’ boolean) through Python’s requests library and/or Postman, but am unable to truly add an asset.

When I try with following POST call:

{“name”: “test123”, “mimetype”: “webpage”, “uri”: “http://www.google.com”, “is_enabled”: “0”}

I get:

{“error”: “Not enough information provided. Please specify ‘name’, ‘uri’, ‘mimetype’, ‘is_enabled’, ‘start_date’ and ‘end_date’.”}

OK, so let’s provide start/end date:

{“name”: “test123”, “mimetype”: “webpage”, “uri”: “http://www.google.com”, “is_enabled”: “0”, “start_date”: “2017-02-02T00:33:00.000”, “end_date”: “2025-02-02T00:33:00.000”}

However that yields:

{“error”: “invalid literal for int() with base 10: ‘’”}

I assume this has to do with the datetime format I’m posting. What kind of format is expected for start/end date?
The format above is the one I got from the swagger example.
I tried with various other formats such as “2023-04-10T18:50:00+00:00”, “04/10/2023 22:24:00” (shown on the web page), epoch “1681372113”, and few more.

Any pointer on this? Thanks!

I dont want to type too much so take a look at how i was doing it here on this side thing i did for my own personal easy way to manage multiple anthias:

Sorry I see that you want the actual POST commands…

here is some code i found from my old days of messing with API commands…

### to add asset and enable it (edit IP address before submitting if necessary)
curl -s -X POST "http://192.168.1.8/api/v1.2/assets" \
	-H "accept: application/json" \
	-H "content-type: application/json" \
	-d "{  \"mimetype\": \"webpage\", \
	\"is_enabled\": 1, \
	\"name\": \"bing homepage\", \
	\"end_date\": \"9999-01-01T00:00:00.000Z\", \
	\"duration\": \"30\", \
	\"uri\": \"https://www.bing.com\", \
	\"skip_asset_check\": 1, \
	\"start_date\": \"2020-11-17T07:37:28.486Z\"}"
