list attached objcts by tagging ID, Python Requests

[Sunil Bethapudi]

Hello All,

I am having issues querying list objects attached to a tag ids using python requests POST. I am always getting 404 error. I am very new to vmware and not even sure where exactly to see the error on vmware server.

I can see the output from vsphere client development center, But when I try to query it I am getting the error 404.

I can query the API for session-d and can query the tag categories and tag IDs, But to be able to see what objects are tagged to the TAG IDs , I am interested, it is not allowing me to.

~~~

def request_post1(vcip, cmd, s, tags):
payload = {"tag_ids":["urn:vmomi:InventoryServiceTag:b4055c62-a0ed-44d9-babb-3e05a5416bcd:GLOBAL"]}
payload = json.dumps(payload)
session = requests.Session()
session.verify = False
session1 = session.post('https://'+vcip+'/rest/com/vmware/cis/tagging/tag-association?action=list-attached-objects-on-tags',headers={'vmware-api-session-id':s, 'content-type': 'application/json'}, verify=False, data=payload)
return session1.json()

~~~

can anyone kindly help.

 

Also, Is there a filter we can apply to query a cluster with more than 1000 vms. is there a filter we can apply to the query to limit number of vms queries, 

 

Any help is really appreciated.

Missed "~" in the endpoint, ie, 

POST - /rest/com/vmware/cis/tagging/tag-association?~action=list-attached-objects-on-tags

POST (vSphere7.0U2) - /api/cis/tagging/tag-association?action=list-attached-objects-on-tags 

Use the below sample to list the attached objects on the tag.

import json
import requests
from requests.packages.urllib3.exceptions import InsecureRequestWarning

requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings(InsecureRequestWarning)

session = requests.Session()
session.verify = False


def get_vc_session(vc_ip, username, password):
    session.post('https://' + vc_ip + '/rest/com/vmware/cis/session', auth=(username, password))
    return session


def listAttachedObjectsOnTags(vc_ip, tag_id):
    payload = {"tag_ids": [tag_id]}
    payload = json.dumps(payload)
    headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json'}
    session1 = session.post(
        'https://' + vc_ip + '/rest/com/vmware/cis/tagging/tag-association?~action=list-attached-objects-on-tags',
        data=payload, headers=headers)
    return session1.content


if __name__ == '__main__':
    vc_ip = "10.xx.xx.xx"
    tag_id = "urn:vmomi:InventoryServiceTag:b4055c62-a0ed-44d9-babb-3e05a5416bcd:GLOBAL"
    get_vc_session(vc_ip, "<Username>", "<Password>")
    print(listAttachedObjectsOnTags(vc_ip, tag_id))
