I'm interested in the topic as well. I just have a Linux vm where I can load python or perl mods that I might want to run.
To answer your last question, for the few things I've ever done with it I always ask for the credentials at run-time, that way it is running as whatever CUCM user is doing the operation (on the off chance it's not me). We just had an ansible workshop here yesterday, I might start using that for managing VG2XX's (code upgrades and the like). Not strictly API related, but ansible might be another thing you'd run on a box like that if you're inclined.
