This will utilize the python package proxmoxer. This is a community maintained package but it is on the official API Proxmox wiki.
The primary functionality of this project is the ability to manage snapshots of resources. Snapshotting multiple VMs/LXCs quickly as well as snapshot removal. When doing maintenance in my homelab I like to do updates on multiple machines at once so I wanted a way to quickly do this rather than go through the GUI one at a time. I also wanted the ability to only remove snapshots from certain VMs after updating.
pip install -r requirements.txt
Or pip install the following
- dotenv
- inquirer
- proxmoxer
You will also need to proxmox API key Create API Token
.env file with

API_USER = "<username@pve>"
TOKEN_NAME = "<token name>"
