Using the vCenter Orchestrator REST API
The Orchestrator REST API provides functionality that allows you to communicate with the Orchestrator server directly through HTTP and perform various workflow-related operations over workflows.
The Orchestrator REST API exposes the objects from the inventories of the Orchestrator server and the installed plug-ins as resources at predefined URLs.
You make HTTP calls at these URLs to trigger operations in Orchestrator. In this way, you can perform various tasks over workflows:
- Run a workflow, schedule a workflow, retrieve the runs of a workflow, answer to a user interaction, and cancel a workflow run.
- Retrieve details about a workflow such as its input and output parameters and its presentation.
- Retrieve details about a workflow run, such as its state, generated logs, start date, and end date. Browse the inventories of Orchestrator and the installed plug-ins.
- Import and export workflows, actions, and packages.
