vCloud Director Plug-In Scripting API 2

The vCloud Director plug-in scripting API contains classes, with their respective attributes and methods, that

allow interaction between vCenter Orchestrator and vCloud Director. The scripting API maps the classes of

the vCloud API to Orchestrator JavaScript classes that you can use to develop custom Orchestrator workflows

that interact with vCloud Director.

The main categories of API classes are User API, Admin API, and Admin Extensions API. With the User API,

you can perform basic tasks. The Admin API adds administrative capabilities. With the Admin Extensions

API, you can manage components of the VMware infrastructure.

This chapter includes the following topics:

“Access the vCloud Director Plug-In API,” on page 11

“User API Classes,” on page 12

“Admin API Classes,” on page 14

“Admin Extensions API Classes,” on page 15

“Parameters for vCloud Director Plug-In API Methods,” on page 16

Access the vCloud Director Plug-In API

Orchestrator provides an API Explorer to allow you to search the vCloud Director plug-in API and see the

documentation for JavaScript objects that you can use in scripted elements.

Procedure

1 Log in to the Orchestrator client as an administrator.

2 Access the API Explorer from either the Orchestrator client or from the Scripting tabs of the workflow,

policy, and action editors.

To access the API Explorer from the Orchestrator client, click Tools > API Explorer in the Orchestrator

client toolbar.

To access the API Explorer from the Scripting tabs of the workflow, policy, and action editors, click

Search API on the left.

3 To expand the hierarchical list of vCloud Director plug-in API objects, double-click the vCloud module

in the left pane.

You can copy code from API elements and paste it into scripting boxes. For more information about API
