anac 0.1.1

Async NetBox API Client

anac

Python Async NetBox API Client, based on httpx and pydantic

Documentation

https://timeforplanb123.github.io/anac

Features

• Minimalistic interface
• Async only
• Python interpreter autocompletion
• Supports NetBox 2.x, 3.x
• Flexibility. All the objects are coroutines or coroutine iterators
• Simple integration with parsers (TextFSM, TTP)

Quick Start

Install

Please, at first, check the dependencies in pyproject.toml and create new virtual environment if necessary and then:

with pip:

pip install anac 

with git:

git clone https://github.com/timeforplanb123/anac.git
cd anac 
pip install .
# or
poetry install

Simple Examples

Api Instantiating

from anac import api

a = api(
    "https://demo.netbox.dev",
    token="cf1dc7b04de5f27cfc93aba9e3f537d2ad6fdf8c",
)
# get openapi spec and create attributes/endpoints   
await a.openapi()

get some device and patch it
