Create a ledger

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
   '<the Acronis data center URL>/api/advanced-automation/v1'
   >>> auth  # the 'Authorization' header value with the access token
   {'Authorization': 'Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6ImMwMD...'}
   >>> tenant_id # the ID of the partner tenant that can be accessed with the token
   'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae'
   

2. Define a variable named ledger_info, and then assign an object with information about ledger to this variable:

   >>> ledger_info = {
   ...     "Number": "8000",
   ...     "Description": "Example ledger",
   ...     "Active": True,
   ... }
   

3. Convert the ledger_info object to a JSON text:

   >>> ledger_info = json.dumps(ledger_info, indent=4)
   >>> print(ledger_info)
   {
       "Number": "8000",
       "Description": "Example ledger",
       "Active": true
   }
   

4. Send a PUT request with the JSON text to the /Ledger endpoint:

   >>> response = requests.put(
   ...     f'{base_url}/Ledger',
   ...     headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', **auth},
   ...     data=ledger_info,
   ... )
   

5. Check the status code of the response:

   >>> response.status_code
   200
   

   Status code 200 means that the request was successful.

   Also, the response body contains an object with the information about created ledger formatted as a JSON text. When converted to an object, it will look as follows:

   >>> pprint.pprint(response.json())
   {
       "Id": "3d5bd08d-89ee-4bd9-bc88-351f130c7126",
       "Tenant": "0dc377ec-e970-42e2-9e95-7ff9d8b05c11",
       "Active": true,
       "Number": "8000",
       "Description": "Example ledger",
       "ExternalId": "",
       "CreationDate": "2024-09-25T17:29:52.2261137",
       "AllowInactive": false,
       "LastChangeDate": null
   }
