[SOLVED] Proxmox API: how to find/search for VMID's node?

[hvisage]

Good day,

I am busy with extending and enhancing Ansible playbooks to also do destroy-clone-config_changes, and I'm a tad stuck with a direct method to find the node (and perhaps the type, ie. LXC vs QEMU) a VMID resides on.. ditto for finding it's pool(id)
I see queries to get node lists, and storage lists but not QEMU/LXC lists across the cluster, only on the specific node, so it means I'll have to drop out of Ansible (or to write a traversing Ansible module) to find the location of any specifc VMID.

Am I missing an API path?

Are there a beter place to ask API related questions than this forum?

Hi!

Am I missing an API path?

You can get it from the result of /cluster/resources there every resource in the cluster is listed, with the owing node if there's one:

Forum works fine, as devs are active here, alternatively our mailing-lists would work too.
