This is how I would do that.
First, I would GET /api/resources?resourceKind=virtualmachine
I would then parse the response to find the VM resource IDs for the next call (just push into a JSON array). The reason I would do this is because today there isn't a way to find multiple resources by name (I'm actually going to get in touch with engineering about that). However, you CAN try a regex query instead, but I'm assuming this won't work for your use case.
Now, you will want to perform a query via POST /api/resources/properties/latest/query so you can provide detailed information for your query in the payload. In your case the payload would look like this in JSON:
{
"resourceIds" : ["resId1", "resId2", ... "resIdn"],
"propertyKeys" : ["summary|parentVcenter"]
}
In my lab, this returns...
