vCAC REST API - Where do I start to request a new machine?

I'm poking around in C# looking to create a machine request programaticly.

I've got the context to ManagementModelEntities and wanted to know am I creating a VirtualMachine object or am I creating a Request object and then invoking the appropriate context.AddToRequests() method... what is required? Without examples or thorough documentation this is becoming quite frustrating.

As an alternative you can call vCO REST API to call the built in "Provision a Virtual Machine from a blueprint" workflow that is part of the vCAC plug-in for vCO.
