To set REST API credentials on the virtual machine with Workstation, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation and run vmrest.exe –config there.So, that we know what REST API is for, let’s study how it works.įirst, let’s set login and password to configure the access to the REST API: Unfortunately, these features are available only for Windows. It allows running automated tests on the virtual machines that typically involve cloning, configuring, and further virtual machine removal. REST API provides control over various virtual machine functions (i.e., inventory, power, cloning, networking, IP, MAC, etc.). However, there’s a small thing about the API for Workstation: it works only on Windows hosts so far. Exact the same REST API appeared in the recently released VMware Workstation 2018 Tech Preview. This interface enables to orchestrate not only the virtualization platform itself but also virtual machines running on top of it. VMware introduced REST API in VMware Fusion 10, the desktop virtualization platform for MacOS, back in the last fall.
