Get Session
Returns information about the current session. This operation expects a valid session token to be supplied. A side effect of invoking this operation may be a change to the session's last accessed time to the current time if this is supported by the session implementation. Invoking any other operation in the API will also update the session's last accessed time.
This API is meant to serve the needs of various front end projects that may want to display the name of the user. Examples of this include various web based user interfaces and logging facilities.
Information about the session.
{
"user": "string",
"created_time": "string",
"last_accessed_time": "string"
}Fully qualified name of the end user that created the session, for example [email protected]. A typical use case for this information is in Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) or logging systems to visualize the identity of the current user.
Time when the session was created.
Last time this session was used by passing the session token for invoking an API.
com.vmware.vapi.std.errors.unauthenticated : if the session id is missing from the request or the corresponding session object cannot be found.

}Stack of one or more localizable messages for human error consumers. The message at the top of the stack (first in the list) describes the error from the perspective of the operation the client invoked.
Each subsequent message in the stack describes the "cause" of the prior message.
Data to facilitate clients responding to the operation reporting a standard error to indicating that it was unable to complete successfully. Operations may provide data that clients can use when responding to errors. Since the data that clients need may be specific to the context of the operation reporting the error, different operations that report the same error may provide different data in the error. The documentation for each each operation will describe what, if any, data it provides for each error it reports.
The ArgumentLocations, FileLocations, and TransientIndication structures are intended as possible values for this field. DynamicID may also be useful as a value for this field (although that is not its primary purpose). Some services may provide their own specific structures for use as the value of this field when reporting errors from their operations.
Some operations will not set this field when reporting errors.
Enumeration of all standard errors. Used as discriminator in protocols that have no standard means for transporting the error type, e.g. REST.

Due to the security nature of this API further details will not be disclosed in the error. Please refer to component health information, administrative logs and product specific documentation for possible causes.
