pvesh returns a list of vms under qemu:

pvesh get /nodes/<node>/qemu
┌─────────┬──────┬──────┬──────┬────────────┬───────────┬─────────────────┬───────┬───────────┬
│ status  │ vmid │ cpus │ lock │    maxdisk │    maxmem │ name            │   pid │ qmpstatus │
╞═════════╪══════╪══════╪══════╪════════════╪═══════════╪═════════════════╪═══════╪═══════════╪

├─────────┼──────┼──────┼──────┼────────────┼───────────┼─────────────────┼───────┼───────────┼
...

With proxmoxer the list is empty:

>>> proxmox.nodes.get('<node>')

>>> proxmox.nodes.get('<node>','qemu')
[]

Version:

>>> proxmox.version.get()
{u'release': u'6.2', u'version': u'6.2-4', ... }

Remark <node> should be replaced with your node name

What python version and proxmoxer version are you using?

Also, have you tested this using proxmoxer with the ssh backend (it uses pvesh under the hood)?

>>> proxmox = ProxmoxAPI('<hostip>', user='<user@authbackend>', backend='ssh_paramiko', private_key_file="<link to key>")

I get an auth failure, maybe doing something wrong, what is the right syntax for this using proxmoxer? I get 'private key is encrypted' when passing the key.

I figured out the original problem:
the filtering of the nodes happens at the nodes level rather than the get level.
So it would be proxmox.nodes('<node>').get('qemu')

Feel free to close this issue if this works for you.

Same result:

>>> proxmox.nodes('<node>').get('qemu')
[]

I can get info on a specific vm:

>>> proxmox.nodes('<node>').get('qemu','<vmid>')
[{'subdir': 'config'}, {'subdir': 'pending'}, {'subdir': 'status'}, {'subdir': 'unlink'}, {'subdir': 'vncproxy'}, {'subdir': 'termproxy'}, {'subdir': 'migrate'}, {'subdir': 'resize'}, {'subdir': 'move'}, {'subdir': 'rrd'}, {'subdir': 'rrddata'}, {'subdir': 'monitor'}, {'subdir': 'agent'}, {'subdir': 'snapshot'}, {'subdir': 'spiceproxy'}, {'subdir': 'sendkey'}, {'subdir': 'firewall'}]

Hrm, proxmox.nodes('<node>').get('qemu') works for me. I'm on version 6.2-11 so you might try updating? This seems to be a weird error with PVE's API.

can you try testing with the HTML api access (https://<ip>:<port>/api2/html) to see if it shows the data there?

@jhollowe you nailed it. Testing the HTML api also returned empty list.

It's not a proxmoxer problem, but API permissions.

At the botom of the page https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/api-viewer/index.html#/nodes/{node}/qemu it is mentioned:
Only list VMs where you have VM.Audit permissons on /vms/.

So I fixed the permissions of the user.

I'll close this, not a bug.

Thanks!
