Need help using wapi 2.9 - retrieve only on extensible attribute

[#1]

Hello Group,

I have been looking everywhere, but have yet to find the answer. I can get all extattrs for a device by using this in Postman:

https://192.168.1.100/wapi/v2.9.5/record:host?name=cis-3-44-rtr1.happy.net&_return_fields=extattrs

I would like to return only one attribute, like City, etc. I would like to do it using postmand, and in python. How can I grab a single value from the attributes? I do not yet need to POST or change a value (yet...)

Thanks for a great source of info

Hi,

You can not return specific extensible attributes - all the extensible attributes will be returned when mentioned as part of the _return_fields argument. You can filter it using python if required.
