Description

Something I found really useful as an SRE was having a way to see what API call was going to be made after setting a configuration through a UI (i.e. picking settings for creating an instance with an attached disk).

Example use cases:

  • For people who need to write scripts it makes it easy for them to copy paste the API call and use curl or whatever if the CLI is not installed in the environment they are in (this is common for a myriad of reasons).
  • When contacting support It's easier to copy paste the API call from the UI than taking several screenshots and sending pictures.

NOTE: This is a super low priority feature request. I just remembered how much I liked this and would be nice to have

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the UI flow for configuring a resource such as an instance with an attached disk, then determine how the resulting API request could be exposed and copied. Done means the UI displays the API call that the selected configuration will make and supports copying it for scripts or support requests.
