In this video we'll have a look at a "practical" automation example by using VMware Workstation's REST API to save me some mouse clicks!

We'll have a look at CURL, Postman, Python, and even some Powershell because why not!

To turn on all the routers and once, just highlight the folder the devices are in, and press the "Play Button"

This is awesome. Now, if there was only a REST call to actually create a VM with my specs, I would be in heaven. Is there?

Great video! I think they removed the "-i" option in vmrest 1.2.1 build-16894299 so it only binds the service on the loopback address.

Hi. Thank you for this video. But when we forget the vmrest.exe account, how we can get it back or create a new one?
