Proxmox API with Python Quick Start



Getting Started with Proxmox PVE API in Python

The video is part of a Proxmox PVE Nested Virtualization home lab series, where we will be building out a lab environment to test Proxmox no subscription features and functionality.

Since Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, many customers are looking elsewhere for their virtualisation requirements – this video shows what you need to do to use the Proxmox REST API.

This video is a supplementary to the previous video on Proxmox APIs where we used Postman and Powershell:

In this video, we run through the following with the API in Python.

We look at:
Quick review of access user with API access.
Using Python to get an access ticket.
Using Python to access the API using the access ticket and session cookie.
Doing something practical with the API – getting and controlling a VM run status.

The script used in the video can be found here:
