vCloud API extension services framework requests extend the vCloud API to allow you to extend existing vCloud Director services and integrate new services with vCloud Director.

■

API-URL is a URL of the form https://vcloud.example.com/api.

■

id is a unique identifier in the form of a UUID, as defined by RFC 4122.

Important

Request URLs are always available in Link elements contained by the representation of the object on which they operate. URL forms shown here are for reference purposes only. Although URLs have a well-known syntax and a well-understood interpretation, a client should treat vCloud API request URLs as opaque strings. The rules that govern how the server constructs these strings might change in future releases.

This summary may not cover all requests in this category. For the complete list of requests, along with detailed information about input and output types, see the Operations lists in the schema reference.
