API/WAPI network creation with extensible attributes

[#1]

Hi all,

Is there a way to do a API/WAPI call to create a network along with the parameters which contains the extensible attributes associated to it? (I'm not looking for the next available network function, but defining the network I want to create by myself)

I've looked for examples but so far haven't found references. Thank you for your assistance!

These are both acceptable.  In both examples, The same JSON data could be sent with any API.  I like using curl for examples.

The first one is more simple, it simply posts the network using the network URL.

curl -k1 -u admin:infoblox -X POST 'https://192.168.1.2/wapi/v2.10/network' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d \
'{
	"network": "172.16.105.0/24", 
	"network_view": "default",
	"comment": "Honolulu Datacenter", 
	"extattrs": {
		"Data Center": {
			"value": "Honolulu"
		}, 
		"Network Type": {
			"value": "Data Center"
		}
	}
}'

This second example is a "request" style, sent to the request URL.  This method is more consistent as it can be used for any type of work because the request type and action are described in the call instead of in the URL.

curl -k1 -u admin:infoblox -X POST 'https://192.168.1.2/wapi/v2.10/request' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d \
'[{
    "method":"POST",
    "object":"network",
    "data": {
        "network": "172.16.104.0/24", 
        "network_view": "default",
        "comment": "Honolulu Datacenter", 
        "extattrs": {
            "Data Center": {
                "value": "Honolulu"
            }, 
            "Network Type": {
                "value": "Data Center"
            }
        }
    }
}]'
