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, [--emails=foo@foo.com bar@bar.com] # 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, [--emails=foo@foo.com bar@bar.com] # 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"}>

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! 'foo@foo.com' # => 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
