REST API python examples

community · ‎11-23-2012

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone had any examples of using the REST API with python. I mainly would like to know how to work out where to add a new A record and PTR record based on given domain name etc..

Thanks

Here are some examples with the Network object. You can try this in an interactive mode with the Python interpreter. It is not much use as a script as it just creates the network, does some search and modification and then deletes the same network.

Here is a link to some sample code:

Hi,

I'm brand-new to Infoblox devices and have only been working with one for a couple of days. When I try to use the sample script directly above (with a few minor modifications to make the results more verbose) to access the device , I'm getting the results in between the <<<<< markings.

Note: I'm using guest account credentials with read-only privileges, so I'm only trying to execute read-only operations.

The other Python sample script, which performs similar operations - again, read only operations in my context - gives me this result:

I'm stumped. What am I missing?

Thank You and Kind Regards

Also, in parallel with this, the device isn't showing me the WAPI docs when I put the address in the web browser: https://device_address/wapidoc. I'm getting "404 not found". Is the WAPI just not exposed or "activated"?

JHopkins · ‎08-26-2013

Ugh - never mind. My URL needed to be: http://device_address/api/2.7/devices (or whatever command) instead of what was shown in the sample scripts. Would you guys mind adding some comments in the scripts about changing this URL and where the URL can be found in the device documentation? [Hopefully that's not too tall an order with all the different devices and versions you might be supporting, and the possibly different paths to that information.]

MNagarajan · ‎04-08-2015

Hi All, Were you able to crack the issue. I am struck up in the same place. I used the scripts in "http://www.infoblox.com/community/content/getting-started-infoblox-web-api-wapi" and got below error... Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Manoj\Net MRI - SM Integration\Python Scripts\Sample_2.py", line 46, in return_results = json.loads(response.content) File "C:\Python27\lib\json\__init__.py", line 338, in loads return _default_decoder.decode(s) File "C:\Python27\lib\json\decoder.py", line 366, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "C:\Python27\lib\json\decoder.py", line 384, in raw_decode raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded") ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded Kindly advise...

MNagarajan · ‎05-26-2015

Hi Team, Can you provide me the API, which will provide the list of end-devices connected to a network element. For example, if a switch has 48 interface ports, i want to get the devices connected to all 48 ports. Regards, Manoj N.

FHecker · ‎05-26-2015

Manoj: Are you using the NetMRI appliance or a Network Insight appliance? (Network Insight runs as part of a DDI grid, and implements the rough equivalent of the NetMRI Switch Port Management functions.) If you're running NetMRI I suggest you ask people in the Network Automation forum; I don't have any real experience with the NetMRI API. However if you're running a a Network Insight appliance I can check to see if the NIOS Web API will do what you want.

Nidhi, I'll look into the community link issue shortly! We recently migrated to a new platform and there may be a few files that need to be found. Thank you for your patience!

Here is a python 3 example:

infoblox/wapi.py

from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings()


class Infoblox():
    def __init__(self):
        self.server = 'infoblox.local'
        self.wapiver = '/wapi/v1.7.3/'
        self.user = 'user'
        self.password = 'pass'

    def __enter__(self):
        """Start a session with Infoblox

        All requests sent during the session will be authenticated with
        the ibapauth cookie.
        """
        url = 'https://' + self.server + self.wapiver
        s = requests.session()
        s.get(url, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(self.user, self.password), verify=False)
        self.session = s
        return self

    def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):
        """Logout and close the session"""
        url = 'https://' + self.server + self.wapiver + 'logout'
        self.session.post(url)
        self.session.close()

    def call(self, object, args, method, data=None):
        """Construct and send an API call"""
        url = 'https://' + self.server + self.wapiver + object
        r = self.session.request(method, url, params=args, data=data)
        return r.json()

lookup

from pprint import pprint

def lookup(ip):
    """Search for DHCP lease with ip

    with infoblox.Infoblox() as ib:

                        'never_ends,next_binding_state,server_host_name,starts,uid'

        query = {'address': ip, '_return_fields+': return_fields}

Hi Nidhi,

It looks like you've got an old page bookmarked. We recently moved a large number of files, and migrated the community to a new platform. You can now find those files under the "Download" section - specifically in the DNS-DHCP-IPAM area here: http://community.infoblox.com/t5/DNS-DHCP-IPAM/WAPI-Web-API-Sample-Code-for-NIOS/m-p/105/highlight/t...

If you appreciate my efforts, please give me a kudo ↓ or Accept as solution to help others find it faster.

This link is still 404.

EricS · ‎10-09-2015

Use this link... and you'll find the files:
