Vendor Container

The SoftLayer_Container_Network_CdnMarketplace_Vendor collection contains the attributes utilized by our Vendor APIs.

class SoftLayer_Container_Network_CdnMarketplace_Vendor

• vendorName: The name of a current IBM Cloud CDN provider.
• featureSummary: A brief summary of the vendor features.
• features: A list of features which are supported by the vendor.
• status: Indicates whether a vendor is an available option through IBM Cloud.

Display a list of the available vendors as well as their features, with a call to the listVendors API:

require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';

$apiUsername = '<Your username>' ;
$apiKey = '<Your apiKey>' ;

$client = \SoftLayer\SoapClient::getClient('SoftLayer_Network_CdnMarketplace_Vendor', null, $apiUsername, $apiKey);
try {
    $vendors = $client->listVendors();
    print_r($vendors);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    die('Unable to retrieve list of vendors: ' . $e->getMessage());
}

{: codeblock}

The previous API call results in output similar to this:

    [vendorName] => akamai
    [featureSummary] => Performance, Reliability and Scale
    [features] => Web Delivery, Content Caching, Content Purge, HTTP/HTTPS Support
