vmware-php
==========

[](#vmware-php)

A PHP wrapper for the VMWare API. This is a pre-alpha release, so stuf isn't working correctly atm.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require martinmulder/vmware-api

```

Guide
-----

[](#guide)

Our VMWare API implementation contains the following features:

- Simple login using application passwords.
- Automatic retry functionionality that retries requests when connection errors or status codes >= 500 occur.
- Direct function calls for much used api endpoints.
- Easy syntax for all other endpoints using `$api->request($method, $uri, $json = [], $query = [])`.

```
// Create a new API instance, endpoint should end on "/rest/".
$api = new \MartinMulder\VMWare\[Vcenter|Appliance|Inventory]IApi('https://vcenter.local/rest/');
```

```
// LEGACY LOGIN WITH TOKEN
$api->login('yourusername', 'yourpassword');
```

Now your API should be ready to use:

```
$vms = $api->getListOfVms();

foreach($vms as $vm) {
    var_dump($vm);
}
```
