Please advise (Newbie): API request to get an IP

[#1]

Hi Team,

I am a newbie to the Infoblox API/WAPI.

lets say i want to know about the IP 10.10.0.0 in network 10.10.0.0/24. Infoblox address is 172.20.255.192 ( using just for example). network view name=AIAutomation.

Is my below API request correct? 

curl -k -u admin:Infoblox -X GET  https://172.20.255.192/ui/wapi/v2.10/search?address=10.10.0.0&_return_as_object=1

Hi,

Your API does look correct to me.

Here is a sample response:

curl -k -u admin:infoblox -X GET "https://127.0.0.1/wap/v2.10/search?address=192.168.0.0&_return_as_object=1"

{
    "result": [
        {
            "_ref": "networkcontainer/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmtfY29udGFpbmVyJDE5Mi4xNjguMC4wLzE2LzA:192.168.0.0/16/default",
            "network": "192.168.0.0/16",
            "network_view": "default"
        },
        {
            "_ref": "network/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTkyLjE2OC4wLjAvMjQvMA:192.168.0.0/24/default",
            "network": "192.168.0.0/24",
            "network_view": "default"
        }
    ]
}

Hi Kvasudevan,

Thanks for your reply. The thing is when I am writing the curl command on my command prompt in windows it throws me the error

curl -k -u admin:infoblox -x POST https://172.20.165.192/wapi/v2.4/network/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTAuMTAuMC4wLzI0LzE:10.10.0.0/24/AI%20Autom...

curl: (7) Failed to connect to POST port 1080: Timed out
'_return_as_object' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'num' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Can you help me in resolving this issue??

Hi Ashley,

Your API should like below:

curl -k -u admin:infoblox -H 'content-type: application/json' -X POST "https://127.0.0.1/wapi/v2.10/network/ZG5zLm5ldHdvcmskMTcyLjIxLjEwLjAvMjQvMA:172.21.10.0/24/default?_function=next_available_ip&_return_as_object=1" -d '{"num":5}'

This guide covers a lot of common use cases.

Regards,

Krishna
