It is what would be the interface in the SDK (say Java, C# or Python) which contains the methods corresponding to the API operations on the resource.</P><P></P><P>The service ID is a fully qualified name of interface from the SDK, but in lower case with underscores separating the words. In the latest versions of the vSphere Automation SDK for Java (or Python) there are constants in the interface which represent the service ID, you can see the value of these constants in the javadoc. The constants are named _VAPI_SERVICE_ID and are located in the xxxTypes base interface. </P><P></P><P>For example</P><TABLE border="1" class="jiveBorder" style="border: 1px solid rgb(198, 198, 198); width: 100%;"><TBODY><TR><TH style="text-align: left; background-color: #f2f2f2; color: #505050; padding: 6px;" valign="middle">REST URl path</TH><TH style="text-align: left; background-color: #f2f2f2; color: #505050; padding: 6px;" valign="middle">Service ID</TH><TH style="text-align: left; background-color: #f2f2f2; color: #505050; padding: 6px;" valign="middle">Constant from Java SDK</TH></TR><TR><TD style="padding: 6px;">/vcenter/vm</TD><TD style="padding: 6px;"><CODE>com.vmware.vcenter.VM</CODE></TD><TD style="padding: 6px;"><P><A href="https://vmware.github.io/vsphere-automation-sdk-java/vsphere/cloud/vsphereautomation-client-sdk/com/vmware/vcenter/VM.html" title="https://vmware.github.io/vsphere-automation-sdk-java/vsphere/cloud/vsphereautomation-client-sdk/com/vmware/vcenter/VM.html">VM (vSphere Automation SDK for Java 6.9.1)</A> </P><P><A href="https://vmware.github.io/vsphere-automation-sdk-java/vsphere/cloud/vsphereautomation-client-sdk/constant-values.html#com.vmware.vcenter.VMTypes._VAPI_SERVICE_ID" title="https://vmware.github.io/vsphere-automation-sdk-java/vsphere/cloud/vsphereautomation-client-sdk/constant-values.html#com.vmware.vcenter.VMTypes._VAPI_SERVICE_ID">Constant Field Values (vSphere Automation SDK for Java 6.9.1)</A></P></TD></TR><TR><TD style="padding: 6px;">/vcenter/resource-pool</TD><TD style="padding: 6px;"><CODE>com.vmware.vcenter.resource_pool</CODE></TD><TD style="padding: 6px;"><P><A href="https://vmware.github.io/vsphere-automation-sdk-java/vsphere/cloud/vsphereautomation-client-sdk/com/vmware/vcenter/ResourcePool.html" title="https://vmware.github.io/vsphere-automation-sdk-java/vsphere/cloud/vsphereautomation-client-sdk/com/vmware/vcenter/ResourcePool.html">ResourcePool (vSphere Automation SDK for Java 6.9.1)</A> <BR /><A href="https://vmware.github.io/vsphere-automation-sdk-java/vsphere/cloud/vsphereautomation-client-sdk/constant-values.html#com.vmware.vcenter.ResourcePoolTypes._VAPI_SERVICE_ID" title="https://vmware.github.io/vsphere-automation-sdk-java/vsphere/cloud/vsphereautomation-client-sdk/constant-values.html#com.vmware.vcenter.ResourcePoolTypes._VAPI_SERVICE_ID">Constant Field Values (vSphere Automation SDK for Java 6.9.1)</A></P></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></BODY></HTML> Thu, 17 Oct 2019 08:01:24 GMT https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-vSphere-Discussions/get-tasks-using-Rest-API/m-p/2221772#M25062 mcvetanov 2019-10-17T08:01:24Z
