api does not appear to expose spiceproxy

[tobywhiting10]

I am trying to connect to a VM using a spice console without using the Web UI as many have done before
(see https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/spiceproxy-via-api.103395

I have looked at using both VDI viewer and trying to use the proxmox api in python to get the ticket

    cmd = 'curl -f -X POST -s -S -k -b "PVEAuthCookie={}" -H "CSRFPreventionToken: {}" https://{}:8006//api2/json/nodes/miniboi1/qemu/108/spiceproxy > ./spiceproxy.vv'.format(Ticket,Token,server,node,vm)
    os.system(cmd)

I am able to launch a spice session through the web ui however I cannot get it to work any other way
Anytime I try query the APII always get a 501 not found

when looking for a solution, I was directed to the api viewer and discovered that it does not appear as if the spice server is being exposed through the api
https://10.10.20.2:8006/api2/html/

I have tried with many curl commands
/api2/json/nodes/
/api2/spiceconfig/nodes/
etc

I can only seem to get a spice connexion when clicking the button in the web UI and haven't got anything to work any other way
Cannot find anybody else with the same problem whose solution worked, at a bit of a loss

Hi,
the method is exposed, the api viewer doesn't show it for some reason.

Does the vm have spice compatible graphic card set?
Is the vm currently running?
