Thnx Prasanna, James, Using the url provided by James, I could invoke the API.
]# curl --user "admin:sigma123" "http://localhost:8080/client/api?command=listAccounts&keypair=bXFnKCix8VhhEGunkFbo0-PGixkjOhtb2gKA\&signature=eaddca273cba89aacf4d0472356516586e2b24f8"; Response: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><listaccountsresponse cloud-stack-version="4.0.0.20121024012150"><errorcode>401</errorcode><errortext>unable to verify user credentials and/or request signature</errortext></listaccountsresponse> The credentials were not correct. How do you create the api key and the signature, I dint quite understand the documentation for this, please guide. @Prasanna : We cannot use cloudmonkey interface because we don't manually call the APIs. We have our own provisioning system, which makes a call to the REST APIs that the Cloudstack provides. Thanks and Regards.
