Developing Web Services Client for VMware
vCenter Orchestrator
Developing Web Services Client for VMware vCenter Orchestrator provides information about developing a Web
services client for VMware
®
vCenter Orchestrator.
Orchestrator provides Web services APIs so that you can develop applications to access and use workflows
through the Web. Orchestrator provides a representational state transfer (REST) API as well as a simple
object access protocol (SOAP) service that you can use to perform various operations over workflows.
Intended Audience
This information is intended for Web application developers who want to access the Orchestrator processes
across a network, through technologies such as SOAP and RESTful Web services.
