Images
******
Creates, lists, shows, updates, deletes, and performs other operations on
images.
General information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**Images**
An *image* is represented by a JSON Object, that is, as a set of key:value
pairs. Some of these keys are *base properties* that are managed by the
Image service. The remainder are properties put on the image by the operator
or the image owner.
Here's some important information about image properties:
* The base properties are always included in the image representation. A
base property that doesn't have a value is displayed with its value set
to ``null`` (that is, the JSON null data type).
* Additional properties, whose value is always a string data type, are
only included in the response if they have a value.
* Since version 2.2, the Images API allows an operator to configure
*property protections*, by which the create, read, update, and delete
operations on specific image properties may be restricted to particular
user roles. Consult the documentation of your cloud operator for details.
* Arguably the most important properties of an image are its *id*, which
uniquely identifies the image, its *status*, which indicates the current
situation of the image (which, in turn, indicates what you can do with the
image), and its *visibility*, which indicates who has access to the image.
**Image status**
The possible status values for images are presented in the following table.
.. list-table::
:header-rows: 1
* - Status
- Description
* - queued
- The Image service reserved an image ID for the image in the catalog
but did not yet upload any image data.
* - saving
- The Image service is is in the process of saving the raw data for
the image into the backing store.
* - active
- The image is active and ready for consumption in the Image service.
* - killed
- An image data upload error occurred.
* - deleted
- The Image service retains information about the image but the image is
no longer available for use.
* - pending_delete
- Similar to the ``deleted`` status. An image in this state is not
recoverable.
* - deactivated
- The image data is not available for use.
**Image visibility**
The possible values for image visibility are presented in the following table.
.. list-table::
:header-rows: 1
* - Visibility
- Description
* - ``public``
- Any tenant may access the image. Additionally, the image appears in
the default image list of all tenants.
* - ``private``
- Only the tenant who owns the image, or any tenants the image has been
shared with, may access the image. Additionally, the image appears in
the default image list of the owning tenant.

Response Example
----------------
.. literalinclude:: samples/image-show-response.json
:language: json
Show images
~~~~~~~~~~~
.. rest_method:: GET /v2/images
Lists public virtual machine (VM) images.
*(Since Image API v2.0)*
**Pagination**
Returns a subset of the larger collection of images and a link that you can use
to get the next set of images. You should always check for the presence of a
``next`` link and use it as the URI in a subsequent HTTP GET request. You
should follow this pattern until a ``next`` link is no longer provided.
The ``next`` link preserves any query parameters that you send in your initial
request. You can use the ``first`` link to jump back to the first page of the
collection. If you prefer to paginate through images manually, use the
``limit`` and ``marker`` parameters.
**Query Filters**
The list operation accepts query parameters to filter the response.
A client can provide direct comparison filters by using most image attributes,
such as ``name=Ubuntu``, ``visibility=public``, and so on.
To filter using image tags, use the filter ``tag`` (note the singular). To
filter on multiple tags, include each tag separately in the query. For
example, to find images with the tag **ready**, include ``tag=ready`` in your
query string. To find images tagged with **ready** and **approved**, include
``tag=ready&tag=approved`` in your query string. (Note that only images
containing *both* tags will be included in the response.)
A client cannot use any ``link`` in the json-schema, such as self, file, or
schema, to filter the response.
You can list VM images that have a status of ``active``, ``queued``, or
``saving``.
**The** ``in`` **Operator**
As a convenience, you may specify several values for any of the following
fields by using the ``in`` operator:
* container_format
* disk_format
* id
* name
* status
For most of these, usage is straight forward. For example, to list images
in queued or saving status, use:
``GET /v2/images?status=in:saving,queued``
To find images in a particular list of image IDs, use:
``GET /v2/images?id=in:3afb79c1-131a-4c38-a87c-bc4b801d14e6,2e011209-660f-44b5-baf2-2eb4babae53d``
Using the ``in`` operator with the ``name`` property of images can be a bit
trickier, depending upon how creatively you have named your images. The
general rule is that if an image name contains a comma (``,``), you must
enclose the entire name in quotation marks (``"``). As usual, you must URL
encode any characters that require it.
For example, to find images named ``glass, darkly`` or ``share me``, you would
use the following filter specification:
``GET v2/images?name=in:"glass,%20darkly",share%20me``
As with regular filtering by name, you must specify the complete name you are
looking for. Thus, for example, the query string ``name=in:glass,share`` will
only match images with the exact name ``glass`` or the exact name ``share``.
It will not find an image named ``glass, darkly`` or an image named ``share
me``.
**Size Comparison Filters**
You can use the ``size_min`` and ``size_max`` query parameters to filter images
that are greater than or less than the image size. The size, in bytes, is the
size of an image on disk.
For example, to filter the container to include only images that are from 1 to
4 MB, set the ``size_min`` query parameter to ``1048576`` and the ``size_max``
query parameter to ``4194304``.
.. _v2-comparison-ops:
**Time Comparison Filters**
You can use a *comparison operator* along with the ``created_at`` or
``updated_at`` fields to filter your results. Specify the operator first, a
colon (``:``) as a separator, and then the time in `ISO 8601 Format
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601>`_. Available comparison operators
are:
.. list-table::
:header-rows: 1
* - Operator
- Description
* - ``gt``
- Return results more recent than the specified time.
* - ``gte``
- Return any results matching the specified time and also any more recent
results.
* - ``eq``
- Return any results matching the specified time exactly.
* - ``neq``
- Return any results that do not match the specified time.
* - ``lt``
- Return results older than the specified time.
* - ``lte``
- Return any results matching the specified time and also any older
results.
For example:
.. code-block:: console
GET v2/images?created_at=gt:2016-04-18T21:38:54Z
**Sorting**
You can use query parameters to sort the results of this operation.
- ``sort_key``. Sorts by an image attribute. Sorts in the natural
sorting direction of the image attribute.
- ``sort_dir``. Sorts in a sort direction.
- ``sort``. Sorts by one or more sets of attribute and sort
direction combinations. If you omit the sort direction in a set,
the default is ``desc``.
To sort the response, use the ``sort_key`` and ``sort_dir`` query
parameters:
.. code-block:: console
GET /v2/images?sort_key=name&sort_dir=asc&sort_key=status&sort_dir=desc
Alternatively, specify the ``sort`` query parameter:
.. code-block:: console
GET /v2/images?sort=name:asc,status:desc
.. note::
Although this call has been available since verison 2.0 of this API,
it has been enhanced from release to release. The filtering and
sorting functionality and syntax described above apply to the most
recent release (Newton). Not everything described above will be
available in prior releases.

.. _v2-image-update:
Update an image
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. rest_method:: PATCH /v2/images/{image_id}
Updates an image.
*(Since Image API v2.0)*
Conceptually, you update an image record by patching the JSON representation of
the image, passing a request body conforming to one of the following media
types:
- ``application/openstack-images-v2.0-json-patch`` *(deprecated)*
- ``application/openstack-images-v2.1-json-patch`` *(since Image API v2.1)*
Attempting to make a PATCH call using some other media type will provoke a
response code of 415 (Unsupported media type).
The ``application/openstack-images-v2.1-json-patch`` media type provides a
useful and compatible subset of the functionality defined in JavaScript Object
Notation (JSON) Patch `RFC6902 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902>`_, which
defines the ``application/json-patch+json`` media type.
.. note::
The ``application/openstack-images-v2.0-json-patch`` media type is based on
draft 4 of the standard. Its use is deprecated.
For information about the PATCH method and the available media types, see
`Image API v2 HTTP PATCH media types
<http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/glance-specs/specs/api/v2
/http-patch-image-api-v2.html>`_.
Attempting to modify some image properties will cause the entire request to
fail with a 403 (Forbidden) response code:
- An attempt to modify any of the "base" image properties that are managed by
the Image Service. These are the properties specified as read only in the
:ref:`Image Schema <image-schema>`.
- An attempt to create or modify image properties for which you do not have
permission to do so. This depends upon how property protections are
configured in the OpenStack cloud in which you are making the call. Consult
your cloud's documentation for details.
Normal response codes: 200
Error response codes: 400, 401, 403, 404, 413, 415
