Now that you've created the code bundle in the previous step, you can use HTTPie and httpie-edgegrid to access the ​Akamai​ APIs.

Add an EdgeWorker version

1. Add a new version to the Hello World EdgeWorker ID.

cat <edgeworker code bundle> | http --timeout=30 --auth-type edgegrid -a <API credentials section>: POST :/edgeworkers/v1/ids/<edgeWorkerId>/versions Content-Type:application/gzip

• Replace <edgeWorkerId> with the ID of your Hello World EdgeWorker.

• Replace <edgeworker code bundle> with the filename and path to the Hello World code bundle.

2. Issue this API request to verify that the EdgeWorker version was created:

http --timeout=30 --auth-type edgegrid -a <API credentials section>: POST :/edgeworkers/v1/ids/<edgeWorkerId>/activations network=<network> version=<version>

• Replace <edgeWorkerId> with the ID of your Hello World EdgeWorker.

• Replace <network> with STAGING.

• Replace <version> with the version number of your Hello World EdgeWorker ID.

Activate the EdgeWorker version

1. Activate the EdgeWorker version on the ​Akamai​ network. Note the activationId. You'll need it to monitor the activation status.

http --timeout=30 --auth-type edgegrid -a <API credentials section>: POST :/edgeworkers/v1/ids/<edgeWorkerId>/activations network=<network> version=<version>

• Replace <edgeWorkerId> with the ID of your Hello World EdgeWorker.

• Replace <network> with STAGING.

• Replace <version> with the version number of your Hello World EdgeWorker ID.

2. To monitor the activation of the EdgeWorker version, try issuing this API request.

http --timeout=30 --auth-type edgegrid -a <API credentials section>: GET :/edgeworkers/v1/ids/<edgeWorkerId>/activations/<activationId>

• Replace <edgeWorkerId> with the ID of your Hello World EdgeWorker.

• Replace <activationId> with the activation response.

  The activationId was provided in the previous step when the EdgeWorker ID was activated.

3. Next, follow these instructions to test the Hello World code bundle.
