REST API - Unsupported property with name: action.

naustin2 — Mon, 20 Mar 2023 18:37:24 GMT

I'm new to the vSphere API and I'm attempting to look up library items using the following call. I'm also setting the vmware-api-session-id in the header for this GET request.

curl --location --request GET 'https://{host}/api/content/library/item?action=find

Here's the error being returned:

"error_type":"INVALID_ARGUMENT", "messages":[{"args":["action""],"default_message":"Unsupported property with name: action.","id":"com.vmware.vapi.rest.unsupportedProperty"}]}

Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks

Noel

Not sure where you got that curl command, but have a look at the cURL command under Code Samples in Find Item

Thanks, After closer look at the doc I discovered I was using a GET when should have been a POST
