/api
base path.The
vSphere
Automation
REST API services append to the /api
base path, following the host and port segments of the URL.For example, you can reach the
Session
service through the following URL.https://<vcenter_server_ip_address_or_fqdn>/api/session
For the full list of
vSphere
Automation
API services, see the vSphere Automation API Reference
.Starting with vSphere 7.0 Update 2, you
should use the
/api
base path to connect to the vSphere
Automation
API. The old
/rest
base path has been deprecated and will be removed in a
future release. All existing and non-deprecated HTTP operations that use the
/rest
base path are available on the /api
base path, which will remain the only active base path after the
/rest
base path is removed.
