IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions API

Introduction

With IBM® Cloud for VMware Solutions, you can quickly and seamlessly integrate or migrate your on-premises VMware workloads to the IBM Cloud by using the scalable, secure, and high-performance IBM Cloud infrastructure and the industry-leading VMware hybrid virtualization technology. You can easily deploy your VMware virtual environments and manage the infrastructure resources on IBM Cloud. At the same time, you can still use your familiar native VMware product console to manage the VMware workloads. For more information, see the IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions documentation.

By using the IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions REST API you acknowledge that you have read and accepted the following third-party agreement:

Error handling

This API uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate whether a method completed successfully. A 200 type response indicates success, a 400 type response indicates a failure, and a 500 type response indicates an internal system error.

HTTP error code	Description	Recovery
`200`	Success	The request was successful.
`202`	Success	The request was submitted successfully.
`400`	Bad request	The input parameters in the request body are either incomplete or in the wrong format. Be sure to include all required parameters in your request.
`401`	Unauthorized	You are not authorized to make this request because of missing or bad authentication token.
`403`	Forbidden	The supplied authentication is not authorized to make this request. Contact the account owner to check your permissions.
`409`	Conflict	The request cannot be completed because of a conflict with the current state of the target resource.
`500`	Internal server error	Your request cannot be processed. Wait a few minutes and try again. If the error persists, contact IBM Support.

When an API operation fails, detailed information about the failure is provided in the response. In addition, in every response there is a header named x-global-transaction-id, which is a unique identifier for the API operation. When contacting IBM Support on API operation failures, you can provide the x-global-transaction-id for better debugging.

Authentication

To work with the API, you must add an IBM Cloud IAM access token in the API request authentication header:

-H 'Authorization: Bearer <IAM_TOKEN>'

You can retrieve an IBM Cloud IAM access token by using IBM Cloud CLI, or by creating an API key and then exchanging the API key for an IBM Cloud IAM access token. For more information, see Getting an IAM token.
