Is this type a Billing_Item? I can have my datatype fixed before your metadata or document fixed. — Wilma

The issue is not with documentation, the issue is related to the objectMask. Currently it is returning a billingItem item which is wrong.

if you execute this request:

GET https://$USERNAME:[email protected]/rest/v3.1/SoftLayer_Network_Storage/13923041/getObject?objectMask=mask[id,storageTierLevel,billingItem[children]]

you will notice that one of the children of the billingItem has the same value displayed on "storageTierLevel" property.

I have no idea when they will fix it.

meanwhile you can use this request:

GET https://$USERNAME:$APIKEYapi.softlayer.com/rest/v3.1/SoftLayer_Network_Storage/13923041/getObject?objectMask=storageTierLevel;id
