You can use HTTP requests to perform discovery and planning operations and download reports.

The following HTTP requests show the syntax that you can use to perform the available user operations.

Note:

The default port for sending HTTP requests is 443. If the vCenter Server instance is configured to use a custom port, you must replace 443 with the custom port number when sending HTTP requests.
