Determine poolUid for Protect VM REST API call

Question

I am trying to use the REST API 5.2 to automatically add a VM for protection in Recover Point.  I have figured out how to get most of the IDs that it looks like I need to feed into the example like the clusterUID, virtualCenterUID, etc.  I cannot figure out how to get the poolUid info though.  I am using the object browser and auto generated API doc to try and figure it out, but can't seem to. Anybody know how I can discover the poolUid uuid and storeage ResourcePoolId values available in my environment?  They are these values in RED in the example: 'poolUid': {     'uuid': 26224937441707843,    'storageResourcePoolId': 'datastore-29',    'arrayUid': {         'id': 286042873705999263,        'clusterUID': {             'id': 455027146067701068       }}},'tieringPolicy': null,'resourcePoolType':'VC_DATASTORE'}

Hello pwillworth,

I am guessing that you are using the install & deployment guides for Recovery point and REST API? If you haven’t then I would look at these guides.
