Hello,
In general, we don’t have any issues accessing and utilizing MASS REST API.
Unfortunately, we are facing some unexpected issues with calling for a server allocation.
According to the documentation the POST call to /MAAS/api/2.0/machines/?op=allocate may contain optional parameters like ‘name’ or ‘system_id’, yet we are getting the following error message:
‘dict’ object has no attribute ‘lists’
The call is executed in following way, for example:
#!/bin/bash
TOKEN=aaa:bbb:ccc
TIMESTMAP=$(date +%s)
OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY=$(echo $TOKEN | cut -f1 -d:)
OAUTH_TOKEN=$(echo $TOKEN | cut -f2 -d:)
OAUTH_SIGNATURE=$(echo $TOKEN | cut -f3 -d:)
OAUTH_NONCE=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc ‘a-zA-Z0-9’ | fold -w 11 | head -n 1)
MAAS_HOST=10.0.0.5
API_ENDPOINT=machines
API_ENDPOINT_PARAMETERS=’?op=allocate’
BODY=’{“system_id”: “abcdefg”}’
curl -X POST
http://$MAAS_HOST:5240/MAAS/api/2.0/$API_ENDPOINT/$API_ENDPOINT_PARAMETERS
-H “Content-Type: application/json”
-H “Authorization: OAuth oauth_consumer_key=$OAUTH_CONSUMER_KEY,oauth_token=$OAUTH_TOKEN,oauth_signature_method=PLAINTEXT,oauth_timestamp=$TIMESTMAP,oauth_nonce=$OAUTH_NONCE,oauth_version=“1.0”,oauth_signature=%26$OAUTH_SIGNATURE”
-d “$BODY”
The exception in logs:

We tried different agents but without luck.
There is no problem to allocate machines via UI or CLI, yet we have to use REST API.
MAAS version: 2.4.2 (7034-g2f5deb8b8-0ubuntu1)
Any ideas on how to tackle the issue?
Thanks,
Daniel
