@maddyred What tool do you use to do the API call and what error do you see?

@sebastian-roth data = {
“name”: “fogsvos”,
“description”: “”,
“path”: “SVOSTEST”,
“imagetypename”: “Single Disk - Resizable”,
“imageparttypename”: “Everything”,
“osname”: “Linux”,
“storagegroupname”: “default”,
“format”: “5”,
“magnet”: “”,
“protected”: “0”,
“compress”: “6”,
“isEnabled”: “1”,

response = session.post(url + ‘/fog/image/create’,data=json.dumps(data))

@maddyred Finally found some time to look into this. Not sure where you got some of data field names from. You better take a look at the code. Here you find the reference to the fields used for images: https://github.com/FOGProject/fogproject/blob/dev-branch/packages/web/lib/fog/image.class.php#L35

Just below that your also find the defintion of databaseFieldsRequired (for images) - you need at least those four to be able to create an image defintion: name, path, imageTypeID, osID

Here is an example with some more fields that worked on my tests:

...
data = {
  "name": "fogsvos",
  "description": "API created image",
  "path": "/images/fogsvos",
  "imageTypeID": 1,              # Single Disk - Resizable
  "imagePartitionTypeID": 1,     # Everything
  "osID": 50,                    # Linux
  "format": "5",                 # Partclone Zstd
  "protected": 0,
  "compress": 9,
  "isEnabled": 1,
  "toReplicate": 1,
}
...
