How Do I Retrieve Details About a Specific Environment

You can retrieve details about a specific environment by using the VMware Cloud Director service API.

Prerequisites

Verify that you are assigned the Provider Administrator or the Provider Support role.
Obtain an API token from the organization you want to manage and exchange it for an access bearer token. Use the bearer token in the Authorization header when you run API calls. See How Do I Generate an API Token.
Obtain the environment ID (URN). See How Do I Retrieve the List of Environments in My Organization.
