Re: [ovirt-devel] VDSM (Python JSON) API
Sandro,
The API hasn't changed between xmlrpc and jsonrpc. The only difference is
format how we provide it.
We need to update the API docs that we have and there is a bit of work
(hopefully) scheduled for 4.0
to define api interface between the engine and vdsm with validation on both
sides.
There is a bit of ongoing work to provide jsonrpc client for vdsm and you
can code how to use it here [1].
There is a bit of work that needs to be done in order to merge it but you
can take a look at start to play
with it.
Thanks,
Piotr

Hi,
I'm looking at Bug 1228641
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1228641> - [RFE] Switch from
XML-RPC to JSON-RPC API and I'm searching google about "vdsm json rpc API
documentation" without success.
I've seen /usr/share/doc/vdsm-jsonrpc/vdsm-api.html shipped within
vdsm-jsonrpc rpm but it doesn't explain how to use the api.
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsmapi.py looks useless
/usr/share/vdsm/rpc/ are not public API but something only vdsm process
should use.
The feature pages http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Design/JsonRpc3.5 and
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Design/JsonRpc are incomplete or outdated
and miss proper testing section specifying how to test the API.
VDSM API pages are outdated or incomplete:
http://www.ovirt.org/Vdsm_API
http://www.ovirt.org/VDSM_Stable_API_Plan
http://www.ovirt.org/Vdsm_API_Schema
Any hint on how to use VDSM JSON RPC API anywhere?
Can someone please write a clear VDSM API reference documentation?
Piotr, as a kickstart, can you give me a code sample for connecting to
vdsm and call getVdsCaps using jsonrpc?
Thanks,
