How to retrieve the networks/containers that doesn't have container

Question

Hi 😊,

I just want to get networks (same problem for the containers objets) that don't have parent.

Here is an example that works (get all the networks in '10.0.0.0/8' container) :

GET …/wapi/v2.13.1/network?network_container=10.0.0.0/8

But to get networks in '/' (no container), I tried :

GET …/wapi/v2.13.1/network?network_container=/

GET …/wapi/v2.13.1/network?network_container=%2F

GET …/wapi/v2.13.1/network?network_container=null

GET …/wapi/v2.13.1/network?network_container=_null

GET …/wapi/v2.13.1/network?network_container=

Always the error "Bad value for network_container: '<what_i_tried>'"…

Thanks !

Hi shaft01, we're not aware of another method on our side. What you're doing already is our best recommendation, although it is a bit cumbersome.

Hi MattR, thanks for your response!

Actually thats my current method and with the very large number of objects in my grid it doesn’t suit me 😭

I think you'd need to pull them all, and filter on the client side.
