VMware Cloud APIs

• All VMware Cloud APIs require a valid authentication token; which can be obtained by issuing a POST:

  curl -s -X POST \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      https://console.cloud.vmware.com/csp/gateway/am/api/auth/api-tokens/authorize?refresh_token={refresh-token}
  

• This CSP API is defined at: https://console.cloud.vmware.com/csp/gateway/am/api/swagger-ui.html#/Authentication/getAccessTokenByApiRefreshTokenUsingPOST

• The refresh_token used to get a valid authentication token can be obtained after successful login to following URL via a web browser: https://console.cloud.vmware.com/csp/gateway/portal/#/user/tokens.

• Most VMware Cloud APIs require an org identifier. This can be obtained by issuing a GET on /vmc/api/orgs and extracting the id field
