Updating the Image Sharing Status in Batches

Scenario

The image sharing status can be updated in batches after a tenant accepts or rejects multiple shared images. The API used is an extension API.

The token obtained from IAM is valid for only 24 hours. If you want to use a token for authentication, you can cache it to avoid frequently calling the IAM API.

Involved APIs

If you use a token for authentication, you must obtain the token and add X-Auth-Token to the request header of the IMS API when making an API call.

• IAM API used to obtain the token

  URI format: POST https://IAM endpoint/v3/auth/tokens

• IMS API used to update the image sharing status in batches

  URI format: PUT https://IMS endpoint/v1/cloudimages/members

Procedure

1. Obtain the token.
2. Send PUT https://IMS endpoint/v1/cloudimages/members.
3. Add X-Auth-Token to the request header.
4. Configure the request parameters. (The values are examples only.)

   {
       "images": [
           "d164b5df-1bc3-4c3f-893e-3e471fd16e64",
           "0b680482-acaa-4045-b14c-9a8c7dfe9c70"
         ],  //Image IDs (mandatory, list<string>)
         "project_id": "edc89b490d7d4392898e19b2deb34797",  //Project IDs (mandatory, string)
         "status": "accepted"  //Image sharing status: accepted indicates that shared images will be accepted. (mandatory, string)
   }

   If the request is successful, a job ID is returned.

5. Query job details using the job ID by referring to Querying Job Details.

   If the job status is SUCCESS, the private image is successfully created.
