For example, extracting the token with the jq command:
| Code Block |

Update
Currently, only one attribute can be updated of a given snapshot request: duration. The duration attribute allows you to extend the snapshot lifetime for a maximum of 72 hours for only 3 occasions.
To extend an already scheduled snapshot:
| Code Block |
|---|
http PUT https://vss-api.eis.utoronto.ca/v2/request/snapshot/<req_id> "Authorization: Bearer $TK" attribute=duration value:=72
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $TK" -X PUT https://vss-api.eis.utoronto.ca/v2/request/snapshot/<req_id> -d '{"attribute": "duration", "value": 72}' |
Request will result in an empty response body with a 204 status as follows:
| Code Block |
|---|
HTTP/1.0 204 NO CONTENT Allow: PUT, HEAD, OPTIONS, GET Connection: keep-alive Content-Length: 1097 Content-Type: application/json Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2016 16:00:44 GMT Server: nginx Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=63072000 X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff X-Frame-Options: DENY X-RateLimit-Limit: 5000 X-RateLimit-Remaining: 4998 X-RateLimit-Reset: 1476982800 |
