Method	HTTP request	Description
fingerprint	POST /com/vmware/vapi/metadata/metamodel/component/id:{component_id}?~action=fingerprint	Retrieves the fingerprint computed from the metamodel metadata of the component element corresponding to {@param.name componentId}. <p> The fingerprint provides clients an efficient way to check if the metadata for a particular component element has been modified on the server. The client can do this by comparing the result of this operation with the fingerprint returned in the result of {@link vapi.metadata.metamodel.Component#get}.
get	GET /com/vmware/vapi/metadata/metamodel/component/id:{component_id}	Retrieves metamodel information about the component element corresponding to {@param.name componentId}. <p> The {@link ComponentData} contains the metamodel information about the component and it's fingerprint. It contains information about all the package elements that are contained in this component element.
list	GET /com/vmware/vapi/metadata/metamodel/component	Returns the identifiers for the component elements that are registered with the infrastructure.

fingerprint

VapiMetadataMetamodelComponentFingerprintResult fingerprint(component_id)

Retrieves the fingerprint computed from the metamodel metadata of the component element corresponding to {@param.name componentId}.

The fingerprint provides clients an efficient way to check if the metadata for a particular component element has been modified on the server. The client can do this by comparing the result of this operation with the fingerprint returned in the result of {@link vapi.metadata.metamodel.Component#get}.

Example

# load the gem
require 'vsphere-automation-vapi'
# setup authorization
VSphereAutomation::Configuration.new.tap do |config|
  # Configure API key authorization: api_key
  config.api_key['vmware-api-session-id'] = 'YOUR API KEY'
  # Uncomment the following line to set a prefix for the API key, e.g. 'Bearer' (defaults to nil)
  #config.api_key_prefix['vmware-api-session-id'] = 'Bearer'
end

api_instance = VSphereAutomation::VAPI::MetadataMetamodelComponentApi.new
component_id = 'component_id_example' # String | Identifier of the component element.
