VeeamExternalInfrastructureRestProvider API

[bk@virtualtn.com]

Hello,

How I can generate JWT to connect to VeeamExternalInfrastructureRestProvider API ?

Do you mean the Enterprise Manager API for Veeam Backup and Replication?

There is no JWT support for that product. You need to log in using Basic Auth first, when successful it will return a Session header token you can use for subsequent request.

1) Login using basic auth https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=100
2) Read back the returned X-RestSvcSessionId header value
3) Pass X-RestSvcSessionId and value for future requests

The sessionid can be reused for a period of time, if not used then it will time out and you would need to login again.

Thanks @benyoung
No I am not talk about API for Veeam Backup and Replication.
There are new API VeeamExternalInfrastructureRestProvider if you install Nutanix AHV plugin.

no worries, not over that product sorry - perhaps chuck this over on the nutanix forum? nutanix-ahv-f51/

If I'm correct, there is no REST API for AHV available to be used. What are you trying to achieve exactly?

[bk@virtualtn.com]

want to automate some task in particular the possibility of making a veeamZIP of an AHV VM without connecting to the Veeam console
/api/v2/infrastructures/{infrastructureUid}/vms/{objectUid}/veeamZip

Currently there is no officially supported RESTful API integration with AHV. Thanks!

Thanks for your answer.
No officially supported but it's work like a charm!

They work smoothly, of course, as this is something we utilize ourselves

That's said custom development for them is not supported, meaning you won't get any support assistance, if something goes wrong.

Thanks!
