To connect to the display you will need also to get the host and port number from the VM details: curl \ -k \ -H "Accept: application/xml" \ -u admin@internal:****** \ https://whatever/api/vms/your_vm_id This will return the following: <vm href="..." id="..."> ... <display> <type>vnc</type> <address>192.168.122.20</address> <port>5900</port> ... </display> ... </vm> The the ticket.value, vm.display.address and vm.display.port you can complete the VNC connection.
