manageIQ REST API examples with cURL and Python 3

Recently at work I've been working with Redhat Cloudforms 4 (based off of the upstream opensource project manageIQ). A client has requested some customizations of Cloudforms which requires calling some info through the CFME/manageiq REST API.

Redhat Korea gave my company an API reference guide for Cloudforms v3 but it is quite incomplete. It is much better to just refer to the upstream manageiq docs on github:
