Need to export "inventory" information for web ordering

[ScottZ.]

I am the process of automating a website where someone can "purchase" a VM container and it's built automatically for them (via scripting) on the backed.

To do this I need to make sure I don't over allocate my resources.

I am new to the REST API so I apologize if this is an option already available through it.

I am looking to export available storage (pvesm status, preferable in human readable format, which doesn't look to be the case), available CPUs (or vCPUs) and vRAM (and/or available physical RAM).

I then need to import that into my web hosting database on a timed manner (which I will figure out on my own).

Is there any good documentation on how to achieve these through the CLI (I can cron job it).

Thank you,
Scott

There are no API exists which delivery you exactly that data in the format you want. But it should be no problem to do this in an array or something else in PHP or Perl etc.
