Hi,

 

I'm writting a python webAPI to find out the Network Details of a  given network.I want script to give me the details of the network passed though commnad line. My problem is how do I susbtitute the variable 'ip' in Python formate to form a correct request.

 

it works fine when I hard code the network value

Here is my code (functional)

 

r = requests.get(url + 'network?network=00.00.00.00/00',
auth=(id,pw),
verify=True);

 

Non functional:

ip = raw_input("Please enter the network\n");
print(ip)

r = requests.get(url + "network?network= %s" ip,
auth=(id,pw),
verify=True);

 

New to python, please advise.

Hi Nidhi,

 

This worked for me.

 

Code:

________________________________________________________________

#!/usr/bin/python
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth
from requests.packages.urllib3.exceptions import InsecureRequestWarning
requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings(InsecureRequestWarning)


requestobject = raw_input("Enter network: ")
url = "https://10.192.32.240/wapi/v2.5/network?network="
user = "admin"
password = "infoblox"
response = requests.get(url+requestobject,auth=HTTPBasicAuth(user,password), verify = False)
print response.text

Hello all,

 

I tried following the instructions to get some data from a subnet within my environment and I am getting the following errors:

 

A snipped of my code

 

import requests

import argparse

from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

from requests.packages.urllib3.exceptions import InsecureRequestWarning

requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings(InsecureRequestWarning)

from getpass import getpass

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='API to interact with infoblox.')

parser.add_argument("-subnet", action="store", dest="subnet", type=str, help="Next available IP in subnet")

args = parser.parse_args()

url = "https://x.x.x.x/wapi/v2.6/network/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTA1LjE0OC4xNTQuMC8yNC8w:{}/24/default-NetworkView...)

if args.subnet:

   querystring = {"_function":"next_available_ip","_return_as_object":"1"}

   requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings()

   response = requests.request("POST", url, auth=HTTPBasicAuth(input("username: "), getpass()), verify=False, params=querystring)

   print(response.text)

 

 

I am getting SSL errors (<big>Untrusted SSL Server Certificate (ssl_server_cert_untrusted_issuer)</big>) – I have downloaded the root cert and used that in the request as well and it did not work.

 

Errors:

 

Password:

I need help with getting this information so that I can finish writing my script.

 

Can support also help here? If yes, I will open a support case

Hi Nidhi,

 

Could you try using "r = requests.get(url + "network?network="+ip"  rather than "r = requests.get(url + "network?network= %s" ip".

 

 

Please keep in mind that the user input for network has to be in the format <network/cidr> .

Sandeep
