VCF Automation 9 APIs

If you recall, the VMware Aria Automation 8.18 API endpoints can be found at the following url: https://vrafqdn/automation-ui/api-docs. Mine looks like this.

These are the endpoints you use to programatically interact with Aria Automation 8.18. First, you'll get a Token via POST /csp/gateway/am/api/login, like this.

Once you have your Token you can authenticate via Authorize top right of whatever section you're looking to run calls in.

Here I'm in Blueprints section, presenting my Token.

Once authorized I can run a GET /blueprint/api/blueprints to see all my Blueprints for example.

So what does this look like in VCF Automation 9, with the System Org (Provider Portal), VM Apps Org, and All Apps Org. First, let's log into the System Organization.

Upon login go to the dropdown top right and select API Documentation.

This will give you the System Organization (Provider Portal) APIs.

Selecting Provider Infrastructure APIs will give more details.

From here you can dig into the details provided.

Now for the VM Apps Org API you should log into your VM Apps Org first.

Upon login top right select the dropdown and click API Help Center.

Which will give you this.

The Automation APIs tile shows similar REST API Endpoints you were used to in Aria Automation 8.18.

The API Transition tile lists the new/updated API endpoints, which are all CSP related.

Finally, the All Apps Org API can be found by logging into the All Apps Org, selecting the drop down top right and you'll see API Help Center.

Selecting API Help Center will give you the VCFA9 All Apps API options.

Hope this was helpful, enjoy!
