title: How to get base image id with the DigitalOcean API?
body: <p>I am trying to deploy a box standard Ubuntu 14.04 image in ams1 using the api service. However, so far I have not been able to locate the appropriate id.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried this using</p>
  
  <pre><code>curl -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Bearer b7d03a6947b217efb6f3ec3bd3504582' "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/images?page=1&amp;per_page=1" 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>from <a href="https://developers.digitalocean.com/#list-all-application-images" rel="nofollow">https://developers.digitalocean.com/#list-all-application-images</a></p>
  
  <p>and similary via dopy (<a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dopy" rel="nofollow">https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dopy</a>)</p>
  
  <p>It outputs all the fancy installations like MEAN on Ubuntu, Dokku on Ubuntu 14.04, etc, but not the base distribution for Ubuntu 14.04. Anyone knows how to get this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Mike</p>
