I want to query data from our VMWare using pyVmomi.
I can run the basic connection that you get from.

This works fine.
<code>hostname = 'vc1.example.com'
username = '[email protected]'
password = 'TooSecret2C!'
from pyVim.connect import SmartConnect
from vmware.vapi.vsphere.client import create_vsphere_client, VsphereClient
import requests, urllib3
import sys
from pyVmomi import vim
def connect(host: str, user: str, pwd: str, insecure: bool) -> tuple[VsphereClient, vim.ServiceInstance]:
session = requests.session()
if insecure:
session.verify = False
urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)
print('Creating an Automation API session.')
vsphere_client = create_vsphere_client(host, user, pwd, session=session)
print('Creating a VIM/SOAP session.')
si = SmartConnect(host=host,
user=user,
pwd=pwd,
disableSslCertValidation=insecure)
return vsphere_client, si
(vsphere_client, service_instance) = connect(hostname,
username,
password,
insecure=True)
</code>

But I don’t understand how you get more information about this API
For my Purpose I would like to get the PCI devices of each VM. And get the Graphic Devices of our hosts. I can query all the VMS via, but I only get part of the Data I need
vsphere_client.vcenter.VM.list()
Is there something I missed about this?
I looked into the community Samples. But I thought there might be a more centralized documentation for everything pyVmomi can do.
I tried to connect and that worked. I read some Documentation but did not find the Data I was looking for. I found some interesting block posts but with deprecated Information.
