WSDL for CloudStack
Hi all,
I'm trying to automate several things including CloudStack. The Automation Framework I'm using requests a WSDL File.
Does anybody has already created a WSDL File for the REST API?
Or on other hand, if I setup the WSDL document, is anybody interested?
I mean, in the end it should be "just" converting the ListAPIs command to a valid WSDL syntax

The idea to have a WSDL or a WADL is interesting. It helps in integrations
between system-system (without human coding/support), and allows more
sophisticated software to consume APIs.
Instead of creating something to generate the API externally, why not add a
plugin into CloudStack that generate the web service description? Then,
systems that have the ability to read the WSLD could do that on the fly.
Common Webservices already do this type of function. For WSDL, frameworks
normally respond with a WSDL when you post a request such as “
http://webservice.example/endpoint?WSDL”
The same can be done for WADL, normal RET web services return a WADL when
you request for a URL such as
http://localhost:8080/applicationname/application.wadl
WADL and WSDL are formal ways of describing web service methods, their
parameters, outputs, and a description of the method.

Mauricio,
As far as I'm aware, we don't have any tooling to support this but you're right such a tool would consume response from listApis call.
You may want to write such a tool for your use-case and maybe publish it on github/pypi/etc.
Regards.
