Subsequent sections describe how to set up a test environment for various SDKs so you can run sample programs that:

Open a connection to the server and create an authenticated session.
Create a 'Hello' folder in a data center.
Create a tag category.
Create a tag within the category.
Attach the tag to the folder.

These operations are implemented in several languages, including a shell script that uses

curl

requests to accomplish these steps.

Although these code examples create several objects, they do not delete anything. You can verify the results by using the VMware vSphere Client™, then delete the sample objects manually if you want to run another example.
