vCloud: tools for interacting with the vCloud API
Project description
A set of commandline utilities to aid working with the VMWare vCloud API.
At the moment, vcloudtools is pretty minimal, but there’s still enough here to be useful. In addition to a Python API client (vcloudtools.api.VCloudAPIClient), there’s a series of small command line utilities to help interact with vCloud Director’s HTTP API.
Installation
vcloudtools is available on the Supercacher Package Index:
$ pip install vcloudtools
Usage
First, tell vcloudtools where your vCloud Director API is by adding an environment variable to your .bash_profile or similar:
$ echo "export VCLOUD_API_ROOT=https://vcd.example.com/api" >> ~/.bash_profile $ exec $SHELL
Then, login to the VCD API:
$ eval `vcloud-login`
You can now use vcloudtools without further authentication hassles. So far, the available tools include vcloud-org:
$ vcloud-org list $ vcloud-org show My-Org-Name
vcloud-org will emit JSON, which you can parse with jsontool or similar.
You can also manually browse the API with vcloud-browse:
$ vcloud-browse /session $ vcloud-browse /org/7318a9a7-cc79-4f88-b8f8-ddddec6873f8

vcloudtools is released under the MIT license, a copy of which can be found in LICENSE.
