Api token

From version 6.2 of Proxmox VE is possible to use Api token.

The result is class Result and contain properties:

• Response returned from Proxmox VE (data,errors,…) dynamic ExpandoObject.aspx)
• ResponseToDictionary return response to dictionary IDictionary<String, object>
• ResponseInError (bool) : Contains errors from Proxmox VE.
• StatusCode (System.Net.HttpStatusCode): Status code of the HTTP response.
• ReasonPhrase (string): The reason phrase which typically is sent by servers together with the status code.
• IsSuccessStatusCode (bool) : Gets a value that indicates if the HTTP response was successful.
• GetError() (string) : Get error.

Example result:

{
  "data": {
    "smbios1": "uuid=9246585e-0c8b-4d02-8fe2-f48fd0da3975",

Usage

//if you want use lite version only get/set/create/delete use PveClientBase
var client = new PveClient("10.92.90.91");
if (await client.Login("root", "password"))
{
    var vm = await client.Nodes["pve1"].Qemu[100];
    //config vm
    var config = await vm.Config.VmConfig();
    Console.WriteLine(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(config.Response,Formatting.Indented));
    //create snapshot
    var response = await vm.Snapshot.Snapshot("pippo2311");
    //update snapshot description
    await vm.Snapshot["pippo2311"].Config.UpdateSnapshotConfig("description");
    //delete snapshot
    await vm.Snapshot["pippo2311"].Delsnapshot();
    //list of snapshot
    foreach (var snapshot in (await vm.Snapshot.SnapshotList()).Response.data)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(snapshot,Formatting.Indented));
        Console.WriteLine(snapshot.name);
    }
    //change response type from json to png
    client.ResponseType = "png";
    var dataImg = client.Nodes["pve1"].Rrd.Rrd("cpu", "day").Response;
    Console.WriteLine("<img src=\"{dataImg}\" \>");
}
//using Api Token
var client = new PveClient("10.92.100.33");
client.ApiToken = "root@pam!qqqqqq=8a8c1cd4-d373-43f1-b366-05ce4cb8061f";
var version = await client.Version.Version();
Console.WriteLine(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(version.Response.data, Formatting.Indented));
