Although I've read the official documentation for vCenter API but I find it a little bit complex to understand,
I'm trying to call the vCenter API using below steps:
first I send a GET request to https://{api_host}/api/vapi/metadata/metamodel/service in order to get a list of all the valid service object names in my environment, in my case I added:
"com.vmware.vcenter.VM"
So the body of my request looks like this:
{
"filter_spec": {
"services": [
"com.vmware.vcenter.VM"
]
}
}
But for the above request I get the below response:
{
"error_type": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",
"messages": [
{
"args": [],
"default_message": "The arguments supplied lack TaskIds.",
"id": "com.vmware.cis.tasksSvc.invalid.taskIds"
}
]
}
But when I set tasks in my body of request as empty like below:
{
"filter_spec": {
"tasks": [],
"services": [
"com.vmware.vcenter.VM"
]
}
}
The response is:
{}
I can't find what I'm doing wrong here, wonder how to retrieve list of snapshots or power tasks.
Am I missing something, Appreciate any help.
