Is there a primer to help someone get started with the new REST API's in 6.5?

I am looking for a few examples of how to do something really basic like a get-vm through the API like I use in Powercli all the time.

There is the series by William, see Exploring new VCSA VAMI API w/PowerCLI: Part 1

This series is based on the Get-CisService cmdlet, which abstracts a bit of the raw REST API.

I did a module, named rCisTag, which uses the Invoke-RestMethod to make the calls.

And there are a number of other REST API implementations available in the wild, Google is your friend :smileygrin:

Here is a bit I did for it:

Let me know if you have any questions
