SoftLayer_Product_Order::verifyOrder - POST request without softlayer-go

Finally I found a easy way to decode the responses :), here a post request for SoftLayer_Product_Order::verifyOrder, I defined the json in jsonStr as you can see:

// Verify Order for VSI
//
// This script verifies an order for vsi
//

package main

import (

    "bytes"
    "io/ioutil"
)


func main() {
    url := "https://username:[email protected]/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Product_Order/verifyOrder"
    fmt.Println("URL:>", url)

    // Define the json to send
    var jsonStr = []byte(`{"parameters":[{"location":"AMSTERDAM","packageId":46,"quantity":1,"hardware":[{"domain":"softlayer.com","hostname":"rcvtest"}],"prices":[{"id":50231},{"id":52135},{"id":51639},{"id":51569},{"id":52363},{"id":61019},{"id":55},{"id":57},{"id":175777},{"id":273},{"id":21},{"id":51481},{"id":905},{"id":58},{"id":420},{"id":418}]}]}`)
    req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", url, bytes.NewBuffer(jsonStr))
    req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")

    client := &http.Client{}
    resp, err := client.Do(req)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    defer resp.Body.Close()

    fmt.Println("response Headers:", resp.Header)
    body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)

Replace: username and apiKey with your own information in the request

SoftLayer_Product_Package::getItemPrices - Request using objetFilter

Here a script with objectFilter to SoftLayer_Product_Package::getItemPrices to Retrieve product item prices (standard) for performance storage space (script provided in my other answer using softlayer-go),

As you can see I set is+null because the space raised an exception, but it works fine

SoftLayer_Account/getObject without using softlayer-go

Perhaps something like this can help you:

I tried with that and I created the following script to get a part of data from SoftLayer_Account::getObject response:

package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "net/http"
)

type Account struct {
    Id int `json:"id"`
    Address1 string `json:"address1"`
    FirstName string `json:"firstName"`
}

func main() {

    url := fmt.Sprintf("https://username:[email protected]/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getObject")

    req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal("NewRequest: ", err)
        return
    }

    client := &http.Client{}

    resp, err := client.Do(req)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal("Do: ", err)
        return
    }

    defer resp.Body.Close()

    var record Account

    // Use json.Decode for reading streams of JSON data
    if err := json.NewDecoder(resp.Body).Decode(&record); err != nil {
        log.Println(err)
    }

    fmt.Println("Response = ", record)
    fmt.Println("FirstName = ", record.FirstName)

}

Replace: username and apiKey with your credentials

As I understand Golang, it's necessary to define the response's structure (I'm not sure, but that's the only way that I had success to decode the response) see type Account struct in the script, you can review the following datatypes(structs) for that in softlayer-go, to get a clear idea about that:
