vCD API Documentation with JSON examples?

Hello,

Do we have a API documentation/link for the vCloud Director where JSON examples are listed instead of the XML ones?

Regards,

Re: Unshare vApp with other users using REST API

Shukran — Mon, 27 Feb 2023 18:07:47 GMT

I am just looking to remove access for one user from the access setting xml list.

I can traverse the list and remove that one object by matching the href that i am looking for.

I was wondering if there is an easier way that i can use.

Unshare vApp with other users using REST API

Hi,

Is there a way we can unshare the vApp using API's. Delete verb doesn't work with /vApp/{id}/action/controlAccess.

Hi Macleud,

Thanks for your help but when I run it I am getting 415 'Unsupported Media Type' error.

This is the query i have used

curl -L -X POST 'https://<cloud-url>/api/vApp/vapp-01417e65-28bc-4eb4-97fa-f4da9a0158f4/action/controlAccess' -H 'accept: application/*;version=33.0' -H 'Content-Type: application/xml' --data-raw '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ControlAccessParams xmlns="http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1.5"> <IsSharedToEveryone>true</IsSharedToEveryone> <EveryoneAccessLevel>ReadOnly</EveryoneAccessLevel> </ControlAccessParams>'

This is the response

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <Error xmlns="http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1.5" xmlns:rasd="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/CIM_ResourceAllocationSettingData" xmlns:ovf="http://schemas.dmtf.org/ovf/envelope/1" xmlns:vssd="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/cim-schema/2/CIM_VirtualSystemSettingData" xmlns:common="http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wscim/1/common" xmlns:vmw="http://www.vmware.com/schema/ovf" xmlns:ovfenv="http://schemas.dmtf.org/ovf/environment/1" xmlns:vmext="http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/extension/v1.5" xmlns:ns9="http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/versions" majorErrorCode="415" message="Unsupported Media Type" minorErrorCode="UNSUPPORTED_MEDIA_TYPE"/>

Not sure if I am doing something wrong. If you have a curl that i could use that would be appreciated.

Share vApp with other users using REST API

Shukran — Fri, 17 Feb 2023 11:15:02 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to utilize REST APIs to share vApp with other users in the org. I wanted to know can we update controlAccess for the vApp if we have other user's email or username?

I am trying to use the below endpoint.

https://<cloud-url>/api/vApp/<vapp-id>/action/controlAccess

And I got this payload example from schema.

{ "vCloudExtension": [ { "required": true } ], "isSharedToEveryone": true, "everyoneAccessLevel": "string", "accessSettings": { "vCloudExtension": [ { "required": true } ], "accessSetting": [ { "vCloudExtension": [ { "required": true } ], "accessLevel": "string" } ] } }

They payload doesn't specify how we can pass the user detail. I am not sure if this is the correct endpoint or do we have another endpoint?

Thanks,
Shukran
