Syntax for Requesting a Machine
You can use the REST API catalog service to submit a machine request.
Prepare you Request
Going back to the entitledCatalogItemViews response, locate a link field that contains a value similar to
the following:
{
"@type":"link",
"href":"https://$host/catalog-service/api/consumer/entitledCatalogItems/dc808d12-3786-4f7c-
b5a1-d5f997c8ad66/requests",
"rel":"POST: Submit Request"
}
Use the information in this response to edit the template construct the URI to request the desired catalog
item using a POST command.
