Long time network engineer, did some perl a long time ago and am liking python pretty well but the pynetbox documentation is badly lacking IMO. If I were a python wizard I'm sure it would all be obvious but I'm not and it's really frustrating that more example weren't provided.
Many of the following examples were cadged from various places on the interwebs and HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED.
import pynetbox
NETBOX = 'https://netbox.fq.dn/'
nb = pynetbox.api(NETBOX, get_token('nb'))
get_token() is function that fetches the token from a hidden file in the home dir (~) that's named token_nb
. I've added it here as a separate file.
response = nb.dcim.devices.all()
response = nb.ipam.prefixes.all()
response = nb.ipam.ip_addresses.all()
response = nb.ipam.vlans.get(vlanid)
response = nb.dcim.devices.get(serial=tgt_sn)
response_list = nb.dcim.devices.filter(query)
response_list = nb.ipam.prefixes.filter(query)
response_list = nb.ipam.vlans.filter(query)
response_list = nb.tenancy.tenants.filter(query)
response_list = nb.dcim.interfaces.filter(device='DEV_NAME')
response = nb.ipam.ip_addresses.get(name=line)
response.delete
response = nb.dcim.devices.get(name=old_name)
response.name = new_name
response.save()
int_a = nb.dcim.interfaces.get(name='xe-4/0/16', device='BLAHSWITCH')
int_b = nb.dcim.interfaces.get(name='eth3', device='BLAHHOST')
nb.dcim.interface_connections.create(
interface_a=int_a.id,
interface_b=int_b.id
)
netbox.dcim.devices.create(
name='test',
device_role=1,
)
response = nb.dcim.interfaces.create(
device=721,
name="Eth1/3",
form_factor=1200,
enabled=True,

Hi nomad-cyanide,
filter() returns a list of records (potentially a list of one record), so you need to iterate that list, like so:
If you want to get just a single record, you need to use get() instead of filter(). But, with get(), you'll need to ensure that the arguments are sufficient to uniquely identify one record, or you'll get an error. So, assuming your arguments above are enough to uniquely id one vlan, you could do:
