Revoking protection plans from resources

To revoke protection plans from resources

1. Authenticate to the cloud platform via the Python shell.

   The following variables should be available now:

   >>> base_url  # the base URL of the API
   'https://eu2-cloud.acronis.com/api'
   >>> auth  # the 'Authorization' header value with the access token
   {'Authorization': 'Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6ImMwMD...'}
   

2. Fetch the protection plans as described in Fetching a list of policies and protection plans, then define the policy_id variable and assign it with the ID of a protection plan. As an example, the ID of the first protection plan will be taken:

   >>> policy_id = protection_plans[0]['id']
   >>> policy_id
   5b15f6e1-88ec-4dce-b523-0e8394c0bc19
   

3. Fetch the resources as described in Fetching a list of all resources, then define the resource_id variable and assign it with the ID of a resource. As an example, the ID of the first resource will be taken:

   >>> resource_id = resources[0]['id']
   >>> resource_id
   '5c350066-2ba6-4eeb-aa91-1213dd35f033'
   

4. Define a variable named filters, and then assign an object with the policy_id key containing the ID of the policy, and the context key containing the ID of the resource to this variable:

   >>> filters = {
   ...     'policy_id': policy_id,
   ...     'context_id': resource_id
   ... }
   

   For the list of available query string parameters, see the Resource and Policy Management API reference.

   Note

   To revoke plans from multiple resources, provide the values in the following format: or(33965f81-7293-45d4-9f13-dc4281d7bdfd,c70134c4-a244-4b22-99ad-e081301f7530)

5. Send a DELETE request to the /policy_management/v4/applications endpoint:

   >>> response = requests.delete(
   ...     f'{base_url}/policy_management/v4/applications',
   ...     headers=auth,
   ...     params=filters,
   ... )
   

6. Check the status code of the response:

   >>> response.status_code
   204
   

   Status code 204 means that the protections plans has been revoked from provided resources.

   Note

   A different status code means that an error has occurred. For details of the error, see HTTP status response codes and API error codes.
