DescribeMachines

POST

Obtain the list of hosts in a specific region.

Wire call

Converge Cloud is RPC over HTTP. There is one path — / — and the action travels in the X-TC-Action header. The /cwp/DescribeMachines path used in the OpenAPI document is a documentation convenience so each action is addressable; it is not a route on the server.

curl -sS https://cwp.api3.convergecloud.com/ \

Response

Fields are returned inside the Response envelope. Converge Cloud answers HTTP 200 for errors as well as successes, so read Response.Error rather than the status code — and test for the presence of that object, because Code is occasionally the empty string.
