This values are from the API:

plan: 1           #cheapest 
datacenter: 6     #newmark NJ
distribution: 127 #centos 6.5

There are different values and you will need to ask them to the API so, to see full info of these three from Linode API (distributions IDs, datacenters and plans), you can run this nodejs script:

	#!/usr/bin/env node
	// sudo npm install linode-api -g
	// Show distribution list & datacenter list & linode plans
	var my_api_key = '---KEY-HERE-----';
	var client = new(require('linode-api').LinodeClient)(my_api_key);
	client.call('avail.distributions', {}, function (err, res) {
	if (err) throw err;
	console.log(res);
	});
	client.call('avail.datacenters', {}, function (err, res) {
	if (err) throw err;
	console.log(res);
	});
	client.call('avail.linodeplans', {}, function (err, res) {
	if (err) throw err;
	console.log(res);
	});
