How to create GTM topology region members with iControl REST API?

[JSC]

We are trying to use REST iControl API in order to create a GTM topology Region /mgmt/tm/gtm/region. The JSON structure seems to be (Obtained from a get request):

{ 'fullPath': '/Common/region_sample', 'kind': 'tm:gtm:region:regionstate', 'name': 'region_sample', 'partition': 'Common', 'regionMembers': [{'name': 'not country FR'}] }

however, when posting the request, we got:

POST https://X.X.X.X/mgmt/tm/gtm/region/?ver=12.1.2 {} -- result -- {u'apiError': 26214401, u'code': 400, u'errorStack': [], u'message': u'Invalid region type: "not country FR"'} We tried with an empty regionMembers array parameters, it works. However, we didn't find the way to create the regionMembers (We also tried actions PUT and PATCH on /mgmt/tm/gtm/region/~Common~region_sample/region-members) REST Documentation is poor on the subject.

Have someone successfully created them with REST?

Only solution find, use "tmsh" command within a REST post:

if regionMembers != '': payload={} payload['command']='run' payload['utilCmdArgs']="-c 'tmsh modify gtm region /"+rPartition+"/"+rName+" region-members replace-all-with { "+regionMembers+" } && if [[ $? == 0 ]] ; then echo OK ; else echo KO ; fi' | jq ." resp = bigip.post('https://%s/mgmt/tm/util/bash?ver=12.1.2' % (BIGIP_ADDRESS), data=json.dumps(payload)) if resp.status_code == requests.codes.ok and resp.json()['commandResult'].replace('\n','') == 'OK': print ' ~ Replace region_members = \''+str(resp.status_code)+'\' commandResult=\''+resp.json()['commandResult'].replace('\n','')+'\'' else: print ' ~ Replace region_members = \''+str(resp.status_code)+'\' commandResult=\''+resp.json()['commandResult']+'\'' pprint(resp.json()) exit(1)
