Quickstart

The full nbcli documentation on Read the Docs

$ pip install nbcli
$ nbcli init
Edit pynetbox 'url' and 'token' entries in user_config.yml:
        ~/.nbcli/user_config.yml

At the very minimum, you need to specify a url and token in the user_config.yml file

pynetbox:
  url: http://localhost:8080
  token: 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef01234567

If you need to disable SSL verification, add (or uncomment) the following to your user_config.yml file.

requests:
  verify: false
