AkamaiApi

Now with CCU REST support!

AkamaiApi is a ruby library and command line utility to interact with Akamai CCU (Content Control Utility) and ECCU (Enhanced Content Control Utility) services.

Using the CLI

After gem installation you will have a CLI utility to execute operations on Akamai. Each method requires authentication. You can provide auth info using one of the following methods:

• Passing --username (-u) and --password (-p) arguments at each invocation (for ECCU/old CCU Rest Api)
• Creating a config file in your HOME directory named .akamai_api.yml with the following format:

    auth:
      - user
      - pass
    openapi: # openapi credentials
        base_url: https://akab-abcdefghi-jklmnopq.purge.akamaiapis.net
        client_token: akab-abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv12345
        client_secret: abcedfhijklmnopqrstuv12345
        access_token: akab-12345abcedfghijklmnopqrstuv
    log: true # optional for enabling logging in ECCU requests. false by default

Tasks

When using the CLI you can work with both CCU and ECCU.

    akamai_api CCU          # CCU Interface
    akamai_api ECCU         # ECCU Interface
    akamai_api help [TASK]  # Describe available tasks or one specific task

Use akamai_api help to view the help of the CLI.

CCU

In the CCU interface you can work with CP Codes and ARLs.

    akamai_api CCU cpcode                 # CP Code CCU actions
    akamai_api CCU help [COMMAND]         # Describe subcommands or one specific subcommand
    akamai_api CCU arl                    # ARL CCU actions
    akamai_api CCU status [progress_uri]  # Show the CCU queue status if no progress_uri is given, or show a CCU Purge request status if a progress uri is given

CP Code

    akamai_api CCU cpcode help [COMMAND]                  # Describe subcommands or one specific subcommand
    akamai_api CCU cpcode invalidate CPCODE1 CPCODE2 ...  # Purge CP Code(s) marking their cache as expired
    akamai_api CCU cpcode remove CPCODE1 CPCODE2 ...      # Purge CP Code(s) removing them from the cache

When removing or invalidating a CP Code you can provide the following optional arguments:

• --domain, -d: Specify if you want to work with production or staging. This is a completely optional argument and usually you don't need to set it.

ARL

  akamai_api CCU arl help [COMMAND]                                                   # Describe subcommands or one specific subcommand
  akamai_api CCU arl invalidate http://john.com/a.txt http://www.smith.com/b.txt ...  # Purge ARL(s) marking their cache as expired
  akamai_api CCU arl remove http://john.com/a.txt http://www.smith.com/b.txt ...      # Purge ARL(s) removing them from the cache

When removing or invalidating an ARL you can provide the following optional arguments:

• --domain, -d: Specify if you want to work with production or staging. This is a completely optional argument and usually you don't need to set it.

Status

If you don't provide a progress_uri this command will print the CCU queue status. E.g.

$ akamai_api CCU status
------------
Status has been successfully received:
	* Result: 200 - The queue may take a minute to reflect new or removed requests.
	* Support ID: 12345678901234567890-123456789
	* Queue Length: 0
------------

When you provide a progress_uri or a purge_id this command will print the CCU request status. E.g.

$ akamai_api CCU status 12345678-1234-5678-1234-123456789012 # or you can pass /CCU/v2/purges/12345678-1234-5678-1234-123456789012
------------
Status has been successfully received:
	* Result: 200 - Done
	* Purge ID: 12345678-1234-5678-1234-123456789012 | Support ID: 12345678901234567890-123456789

ECCU

In the ECCU interface you can see the requestes already published and publish your own requests.

    akamai_api ECCU help [COMMAND]                            # Describe subcommands or one specific subcommand
    akamai_api ECCU last_request                              # Print the last request made to ECCU
    akamai_api ECCU publish_xml path/to/request.xml john.com  # Publish a request made in XML for the specified Digital Property (usually the Host Header)
    akamai_api ECCU requests                                  # Print the list of the last requests made to ECCU
    akamai_api ECCU revalidate now jhon.com "*.png"           # Create an XML request based on querystring input (*.png) for the specified Digital Property (usually the Host Header)

Viewing Requests

You can see the requests published on ECCU using akamai_api ECCU requests For each request you will see all its details (code, status, etc.) except the file content. To view the file content add the --content (-c) option.

To see only the last request you can use akamai_api ECCU last_request.

Publishing Requests in XML

To publish requests made in XML (ECCU Request Format) you can use akamai_api ECCU publish_xml.

Usage:
  akamai_api publish_xml path/to/request.xml john.com

Options:
  -P, [--property-type=type]              # Type of enlisted properties
                                          # Default: hostheader
      [--no-exact-match]                  # Do not do an exact match on property names
  -e, [[email protected] [email protected]]  # Email(s) to use to send notification on status change
  -n, [--notes=NOTES]                     # Default: ECCU Request using AkamaiApi gem

The command takes two arguments:

• the file containing the request;
• the Digital Property to which you want to apply the request (usually it's the host);

Revalidate based on a query string

You con use akamai_api ECCU revalidate for generate an XML revalidation file base on a query string.

Usage:
  akamai_api revalidate now jhon.com "*.png"

Options:
  -f, [--force]                            # Force request without confirm
  -P, [--property-type=type]               # Type of enlisted properties
                                           # Default: hostheader
      [--no-exact-match]                   # Do not do an exact match on property names
  -e, [[email protected] [email protected]]   # Email(s) to use to send notification on status change
  -n, [--notes=NOTES]                      # Default: ECCU Request using AkamaiApi gem

The command produces the following result and ask you if you want to publish:

<?xml version="1.0"?><eccu><match:ext value="png"><revalidate>now</revalidate></match:ext></eccu>

The command takes two arguments:

• the timestamp after which any content, matched, in cache with an older timestamp will be considered stale
• the Digital Property to which you want to apply the request (usually it's the host);
• the query string that will be analyzed to produce the XML

Rules for the Querystring

• foo : indicate a filename
• foo/ : indicate the foo dir
• foo/* : indicate all direct sub dirs of foo
• foo/** : indicate recursively all sub dirs of foo
• *.png : indicate all pngs
• foo.txt : indicate specific file (foo.txt)

Following the Akamai API docs there is a limitation:

Akamai recommends that you limit the number of matches to 250 or fewer. Submitting more than 250 invalidation requests at one time can result in a “global invalidation”

As a Library

Remember to init the AkamaiApi gem with your login credentials. You can set your credentials with the following statement:

AkamaiApi.config.merge! :auth => ['user', 'pass']

• CpCode: model representing a CP Code. Use the ::all method to retrieve the list of available CpCode.
• CCU : CCU interface. Use the ::purge method to purge a list of resources.
• ECCURequest: model representing an ECCU request.

CCU

::status

When no argument is given, this command will return a AkamaiApi::CCU::Status::Response object describing the status of the Akamai CCU queue. E.g.

AkamaiApi::CCU.status
# => #<AkamaiApi::CCU::Status::Response:0x00000101167978 @raw={"supportId"=>"12345678901234567890-123456789", "httpStatus"=>200, "detail"=>"The queue may take a minute to reflect new or removed requests.", "queueLength"=>0}>

When you pass a progress_uri or a purge_id, this command will check the given Akamai CCU request. E.g.

AkamaiApi::CCU.status '/CCU/v2/purges/foobarbaz' # you can pass only 'foobarbaz' (the purge request id) as argument
# => #<AkamaiApi::CCU::PurgeStatus::SuccessfulResponse:0x000001014da088
#  @raw=
#   {"originalEstimatedSeconds"=>480,
#    "progressUri"=>"/CCU/v2/purges/12345678-1234-5678-1234-123456789012",
#    "originalQueueLength"=>6,
#    "purgeId"=>"12345678-1234-5678-1234-123456789012",
#    "supportId"=>"12345678901234567890-123456789",
#    "httpStatus"=>200,
#    "completionTime"=>"2014-02-19T22:16:20Z",
#    "submittedBy"=>"test1",
#    "purgeStatus"=>"In-Progress",
#    "submissionTime"=>"2014-02-19T21:16:20Z",
#    "pingAfterSeconds"=>60}>

It will return a AkamaiApi::CCU::PurgeStatus::SuccessfulResponse object when a purge request is found, or a Akamai::CCU::PurgeStatus::NotFoundResponse when no request can be found.

::purge

module AkamaiApi::CCU
  def purge action, type, items, args = {}
    ...
  end
end

• action: symbol or string. It should be remove or invalidate. See the CLI documentation for more details
• type: symbol or string. It should be arl or cpcode. Use arl to purge a list of urls, and cpcodes to purge a list of cp codes
• items: the list of the resources to clean
• args: additional options (domain)

It will return a AkamaiApi::CCU::Purge::Response object that you can use to retrieve the progress_uri (or the purge_id) of the request.

E.g.

AkamaiApi::CCU.purge :remove, :arl, ['http://www.foo.com/a.txt'], :domain => 'staging'
# => #<AkamaiApi::CCU::Purge::Response:0x00000101bf2848
#  @raw=
#   {"describedBy"=>"foo",
#    "title"=>"bar",
#    "pingAfterSeconds"=>100,
#    "purgeId"=>"1234",
#    "supportId"=>"130",
#    "detail"=>"baz",
#    "httpStatus"=>201,
#    "estimatedSeconds"=>90,
#    "progressUri"=>"/CCU/v2/purges/1234"}>

Purge Helpers

CCU = AkamaiApi::CCU

CCU.invalidate_cpcode cpcodes    # => wrapper to call .purge :invalidate, :cpcode
CCU.invalidate_arl arls          # => wrapper to call .purge :invalidate, :arl
CCU.invalidate :arl, arls        # => wrapper to call .purge :invalidate

CCU.remove_cpcodes cpcodes   # => wrapper to call .purge :remove, :cpcode
CCU.remove_arl arls          # => wrapper to call .purge :remove, :arl
CCU.remove :arl              # => wrapper to call .purge :remove

ECCURequest

An ECCURequest is an object representing an ECCU Request. To see all the published requests use the ::all method. To retrieve only the last request, you can use the ::last method. The following code should be self explaining about both class methods and instance methods:

    all_requests_ids = ECCURequest.all_ids                     # => Returns all available requests ids
    first_request    = ECCURequest.find all_requests_ids.first # => Return the ECCURequest model with the specified code

    all_requests = ECCURequest.all  # => Returns all available requests
    last_request = ECCURequest.last # => Return the last available request

    last_request.update_notes! 'My new note' # => Invoke the ECCU service to change the notes field
    last_request.update_email! '[email protected]' # => Invoke the ECCU service to change the email to be notified on status change
    last_request.destroy                     # => Invoke the ECCU service to delete the request

Use the ::publish method to publish an ECCU Request:

    AkamaiApi::ECCURequest.publish 'example.com', my_content, args
    AkamaiApi::ECCURequest.publish_file 'example.com', 'path/to/file.xml', args

You can specify the following optional arguments in args: file_name, notes, version, emails, property_type, property_exact_match
