Scripting interface?

[jtongen]

I'd like to write some scripts to control/monitor VM state. The script would run from a windows system, ideally with no Proxmox software installed.

Is there a python API for Proxmox? I'm thinking my windows script would ssh into the Proxmox node and then interact with a scripting interface there. If not, how do you recommend I accomplish the above?

Windows 10 can even use SSH capabilities ....
However as you have not provided a version of windows i cannot determine if that would be an option for you.

Still if this were to be an option i would look at this and then write your script via this way :

To be clear, from my end i am only using linux boxes, and for management i am slowly moving from puppet to ansible ..
My suggestion is no more then a hint, no experience at it whatsoever.
