vSphere Build Version via API - rest

Question

Is there a way do get the vsphere build versing using any API/SDK/REST?
I know it's possible using powershell on vcenter for that, but it'd be great if there was another option.
Like described here: https://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2017/08/powercli-script-to-help-correlate-vcenter-esxi-vsan-buildversions-wo-manual-vmware-kb-lookup.html

Answer 1

It looks like you should be able to using the VMware vSphere API Python Bindings, as you can just simulate going through the Managed Object Browser.
Parent Managed Object ID: ServiceInstance
Property Path: content.about
And then there is a build string which is what you are looking for.

Answer 2

I figure out how to do this, my need is having as much information about vsphere as possible, so get datacenter, cluster and host details is mantaroy.
For that I used the official ruby api, rbvmomi, but I believe it's exactly the same thing for python one and golang.
It's needed to interact through host folder under root/children object, which is not that clear on wmware api docs, to get it easier follow a piece of code:
vim = RbVmomi::VIM.connect host: host, user: 'user', password: 'pass', insecure: true, debug: false
vim.root.children.each do |root_child|
root_child.hostFolder.children.each do |child|
child.host.each do |host|
prod = host.config.product
puts host.name,
prod.apiType,
prod.apiVersion,
prod.build,
prod.fullName,
prod.instanceUuid,
prod.licenseProductName,
prod.localeBuild,
prod.localeVersion,
prod.name,
prod.osType,
prod.productLineId,
prod.vendor,
prod.version
end
end
end
