aionetbox 0.1.0

AIO Netbox

AIONetbox

An async web client for Netbox

Note

This library currently only supports read operations. PUT/POST support will be coming in a future release of the library.

Installation

AIONetbox is distributed as a library intended to be included in other async python projects. It has been developed on python 3.6+. aionetbox is published on the cheese shop for ease of use.

installation can be as easy as:

pip install aionetbox

or use your virtualenv/tox tooling to guide you.

Example Usage

The idea behind AIONetbox is not to abstract the netbox classes with assumptions but instead offer a non-blocking client for async frameworks. its expected that the developer consuming AIONetbox will be at least a little familiar with the API structure of netbox. If not, the following is a good resource to use when calculating your API routes to query:

• API Overview
• Netbox Documentation

Code Sample for a READ device scan:

import asyncio
import json
from aionetbox include AIONetbox

async def run(token):
  # Initialize with the host, and your authentication token
  nbox = AIONetbox(host='https://netbox.example.com', auth_token=token)
  # Provide the api-route you wish to poll, and any key/value args
  devices = await nbox.get('/dcim/devices', role='some-role')
  # be tidy and close your connection when complete
  await nbox.close()
  print(json.dumps(devices, indent=2))

# this is setup so we have an event loop and can leverage asyncio
if __name__ == '__main__':
    LOOP = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    LOOP.run_until_complete(run('my-netbox-token'))
