Using Morpheus CLI to Generate API Requests

The Morpheus CLI can be a great tool to create/update/delete resources in Morpheus from your workstation or server programmatically. The API can also be leveraged for completing the same tasks but creating a request from scratch can be tedious. Luckily, the CLI has a great way to get you started on API requests!

Appending --curl to a command will initiate a DRY RUN and not make any changes. This allows you fill in values in the CLI and get the output in a curl command format. See the example below for creating a new cloud called NewCloud, which will prompt us for inputs and output in the curl format:

CLI_CURL
CLI_CURL970×1217 35.8 KB

A great advantage of using the CLI is you can enter ? when prompted for an input to see your available choices. This makes building your queries much quicker for testing.

The CLI is great for preparing json payloads for executing API calls and automating Morpheus actions.
