SoftLayer Object Storage

API Reference and Developer Documentation

SoftLayer Object Storage

Kraken.io API allows you to store optimized images directly in your SoftLayer Object Storage. With just a few additional parameters your optimized images will be pushed to SoftLayer in no time.

Mandatory Parameters:
`user`	Your SoftLayer Username.
`key`	Your SoftLayer API Key.
`container`	Name of a destination container on your SoftLayer account.
`region`	Short name of the region your container is located in. This can be one of the following: `syd01` `lon02` `mon01` `dal05` `tok02` `tor01` `hkg02` `mex01` `par01` `fra02` `mil01` `sjc01` `sng01` `mel01` `ams01`
Optional Parameters:
`path`	Destination path in your container (e.g. "images/layout/header.jpg"). Defaults to root "/".
`cdn_url`	A boolean value (`true` or `false`) instructing Kraken.io API to return a public CDN URL of your optimized file. Defaults to `false` meaning the non-CDN URL will be returned.

The above parameters must be passed in a sl_store object:

{
    "sl_store": {
        "user": "your-softlayer-account",
        "key": "your-softlayer-key",
        "container": "destination-container",
        "region": "your-container-location"
    }
}

Below you can find an example of a complete JSON request that uses sl_store to push optimized image into your SoftLayer Object Storage container. We will use url option to feed the API with a URL of image to be optimized. The below request uses example (fake) credentials - you will need to replace them with your real ones.

If your SoftLayer container is CDN-enabled and you've passed "cdn_url": true parameter in your JSON request the optimization and compression results will contain kraked_url which points directly to the optimized file location in your SoftLayer CDN, for example:

http://1c231.http.fra02.cdn.softlayer.net/images/layout/header.jpg

If your container is not CDN-enabled kraked_url will point to the optimized image URL in the Kraken.io API:
