Hello,I see on Fabric portal a new feature named : «Service Tokens»This seems to be the thing I need to give to my customer a better user experience.I dont see API documentation about this new feature on : - https://developer.equinix.com/catalogDid i miss the documentation ?Is it possible to list every token created ? Is there a way the refresh the expiration of a token to give back 30 days when there are only few day left ?On a connection, can i know which token was used to create it ? ( will it take the place of the authorizationKey ?)Best regards, Louis

Is ECX and Network Edge built on OpenStack?I'm trying to integrate Equinix Network Edge within an Orchestrator - Morpheus / Ciena Blueplanet and thost currently support Openstack.If Equinix fabric is built on open stack; can additional documentation be shared on how we can interact with the various elements to build the cloud integration with 3rd party orchestrators?

Hi,I am trying to call your APIs from a browser but i am getting a CORS error. Thanks!!

[creating new thread because follow-ups on the previous thread throws up http 403]Hi, thanks for following up! What I'm trying to do here is to reconcile Equinix's view of what cross-connect assets are installed in our patch panels with what's contained in our own internal database. The aim is two-fold: 1. ensure that Equinix' DB and our DB are ~in sync and 2. to enable us to get local notifications whenever there are asset create / delete events, which can then be used to trigger other work process flows on our side,e.g. sending out to sites to bring links live.At the moment, only A side cross-connects assets are visible via the API, but A side cross-connects only make up 20% of the installed asset based in our patch panels: the other 80% are Z side cross-connects. So you can probably see that the current output from an EQX API asset search is not that useful for us, which is a real shame.We're currently handling this reconciliation by downloading Excel spreadsheets from the portal an

Hi,I've been doing POST /power/v1/current for levelType of 'cabinet' for awhile now. But every once in a while (6 hours - 24 hours), the endpoint would return me with an error ECONNRESET. I've checked online and it states that this error usually means that connection on the other end (Equinix) got closed.Here's a list of APIs my application is executing every now and then:GET /alarm/v1/smartview/alarmsGET /environment/v1/listCurrent for levelType of 'ibx'POST /power/v1/current for levelType of 'ibx'POST /power/v1/current for levelType of 'cabinet'And only the mentioned endpoint is receiving this error.Currently, I've set the timeout to 300s for the request as the response from you guys is pretty huge.

How do you query what Z-side cross-connects are installed? The /v1/assets/search URI only provides A-side cross-connects and if you attempt to post a query for /v1/assets/{assetNumber} where assetNumber refers to a Z side crossconnect, the API returns: { "errors": [ { "code": "EQX-434-4404", "message": "No Asset found for the Id:4-xxxxxxxxxxxx" } ] } Running searches / queries for A side cross-connects works fine.

I requested a bearer token ... no problem. As I try to get the userport with that valid bearer token, I get an error. Did I miss something ? Do I need an extra acceptance from our account manager to use my account in the sandbox ?my curl request: curl -ki --request GET \ --url https://sandboxapi.equinix.com/ecx/v3/port/userport \ --header 'accept: application/json' \ --header 'authorization: Bearer ' \ --header 'content-type: application/json' the http response: HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error with this error body: {"errorCode":"IC-USR-014-01","errorMessage":"Error in getting user's profile"}  

Hi all, this is the error I'm getting when calling /v1/orders/workvisit/locations { "errors": [ { "code": "EQX-161-500", "message": "The system had encountered an unexpected problem and we are tracking it with error code." } ], "ticketId": "201023052138751" } Any ideas?

Hey there, I need help! I tried to use API and create a POST REST API request to raise a Work Visit request to Equinix. but unfortunately returned the EQX-161-403 errors. Please kindly help, no idea what this error message means and how to fix this error.

Hi, I would like to check if there is any rate limit on OAuth API?

Hi,I am not a developer but I am very familiar with Equinix portals (ECX and ECP) and now I'd like to try out your APIs before recommending to my development team to proceed with the integration. Where do I start, any advice?

Can I create L3 connections through the API? I can only see L2 connections in the API documentationRegards

Hello,I'm playing around with the Sandbox APIs and stumbled upon this problem.When trying to get a list a services I get this error message: Request GET https://sandboxapi.equinix.com/ecx/v3/l2/serviceprofiles/services Result { "fault": { "faultstring": "Invalid API call as no apiproduct match found", "detail": { "errorcode": "keymanagement.service.InvalidAPICallAsNoApiProductMatchFound" } }} In the long run I'd like to implement the Sandbox APIs in our production environment to serve as a kind-of dry-run feature. That means if we start a dry-run of our processes they will point to the Sandbox environment instead of the production APIs. Is it wise to do that or is the data for the Sandbox APIs changing often? I've read somewhere that the Sandbox environment is updated every couple of months. Thanks

Is there any way to increase or decrease speed value and speed unit of an existing connection and without recreating the connection? In the documentation it says PATCH method for /ecx/v3/l2/connections/{uuid} only accepts AccessKey, SecretKey paramsThanks.

Hi,I have been playing around with your ECXF APIs in Sandbox and I was wondering whether I can request new ports so that I can use distinct ports to test out different use cases?

Hello,I'd like to know how often do you synchronize your sandbox environment with production environment?

Hello, I know Equinix has APIs for initiation (i.e Create Shipment order) but I was wondering whether you have plans to introduce Update and Cancel APIs for your services.

Hi, How often does the port statistics/utilization data get updated as I want to poll the values based on those intervals?

I can get the statistics for a physical port. But is there a way to break it out based on connections or vlan ports? Since the physical port is a shared service that contains multiple Expressroute circuits it would be useful to get the connection or vlan usage.Thanks ...

Hello, A few questions for API access and usage. Please can you give me the interval of query for your different levels (power/temperature/etc...). I want to configure a prob who will call your API every x minutes according to your granularity. What is the maximum query per second on the API? Did you have a limitation with token creation (quantity / over time / other)? Are there plans to have the possibility to stream data to an endpoint, I see specific endpoint like GCP/AWS/Azure but what if I want to have my own endpoint? Thanks for your answers,

For same user and account, I am getting Error for different IBX with status code 3001 and message Permission Denied

BonjourIs the ECX API accessible from a "private" interface using a virtual circuit?Merci.Hrv

I'm getting the following error for my work visit requests:You don't have permission to access this cabinetI've checked the list that I am sending against the list that is returned via the getLocation endpoint (https://developer.equinix.com/catalog/workvisitv1).Is there any way to determine which cabinet is causing this issue? I have the full payload that I am sending available upon request.Thanks,Dustin
