Get Server address
Retrieve your IDrive server address using getServerAddress API. Use this address for executing command line utility APIs and REST APIs.It is important to note that the IDrive server address is dynamic and may change over a period of time as physically the data may get moved to another server. So depending on your application needs, you may need to call this API periodically to get the current IDrive server address applicable for the user.
Syntax:
idevsutil --getServerAddress <username> --password-file=<account password>
- Username:
IDrive username. If you do not have a valid username Sign up with IDrive. - --password-file=PATH_OF_PSWD_FILE

Code:
idevsutil --getServerAddress <username> --password-file="MyPassword"
