Retrieve a VM using the API
...
Before you begin, create a VM with the Abiquo UI and power it off. Open the browser console. This example uses Chrome, so we clicked F12.
Select the Network view
Click the red arrow record button and the clear button next to it
In the platform on the VM control panel, click the Start button
Scroll up to the first request, which should be a PUT request to the virtual machine state URL. Click on the request
If you can't see the Method column, right click on a column heading and select Method from the list
Select the link to the VM up to the end of the VM ID number (before "/state")
Use a cURL request similar to the one the example below or a REST API tool such as Postman to perform a GET request to this link. For this basic testing, you can use the -k option to avoid security warnings.
