This is a thin python wrapper over the NetBox API.

To install run pip install netbox-python.

Alternatively, you can clone the repo and run python setup.py install.

The full documentation is at https://netbox-community.github.io/netbox-python/, but the following should be enough to get started using it.

To begin, import the NetBox client and instantiate it:

from netbox_python import NetBoxClient, Result
nb = NetBoxClient(
    base_url="http://127.0.0.1:8000/", token="1dc6fa5bfcef8390dd83a261c36ed8f1551b2d6b"
)

The first argument NetBoxClient takes is the NetBox URL. The 'token' argument is from NetBox.

Now using the client you can make calls to the api, for example:

# 1. List (paginated)
ret = nb.dcim.sites.list(limit=3)

# 2. Filtered List
ret = nb.dcim.sites.list(region_id="43")

# 3. All
ret = nb.dcim.sites.all()

# 4. Get
ret = nb.dcim.sites.get(24)

# 5. Create
ret = nb.dcim.sites.create(name="foo3", slug="foo3")

# 6. Bulk Create
data = [
    {"name": "foo4", "slug": "foo4"},
    {"name": "foo5", "slug": "foo5"},
    {"name": "foo6", "slug": "foo6"},
]
ret = nb.dcim.sites.create(data)

# 7. Update
ret = nb.dcim.sites.update(26, name="foo2-new", slug="foo2-new-slug")

# 8. Bulk Update
data = [
    {"id": 28, "name": "foo4-new", "slug": "foo4-new"},
    {"id": 29, "name": "foo5-new", "slug": "foo5-new"},
]
ret = nb.dcim.sites.update(data)

# 9. Delete
ret = nb.dcim.sites.delete(37)

# 10. Bulk Delete
data = [{"id": 25}, {"id": 27}]
ret = nb.dcim.sites.delete(data)

The methods on the api's correspond to the NetBox REST API, so ('circuits', 'core', 'dcim', 'extras', 'ipam', 'plugins', 'tenancy', 'users', 'virtualization', 'wireless')

circuits would have 'circuit_terminations', 'circuit_types', etc... off of it. Each of the endpoints has 'list', 'get', 'create', 'update' and 'delete' functions.
