Create, Search and Delete a Host Object Using the REST API

 

There has been a great deal of interest in the new NIOS REST based API and we have had tons of questions about how it works. One common request is how to work with the host object via the new API. Here are some basic examples on how to create, search for and delete a host via the REST API:

Create a host:

curl -k -u admin:infoblox -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://10.65.16.12/wapi/v1.0/record:host -d '{ "ipv4addrs":[{"configure_for_dhcp": false,"ipv4addr": "10.10.10.12"}],"name": "newhost.bloxdemo.com","view": "default"}'

 

Search for the host that was just created:

 

curl -k -u admin:infoblox -X GET https://10.65.16.12/wapi/v1.0/record:host -d name~=newhost

 

The search returns a reference (_ref) for the host:

 

[
    {
        "_ref": "record:host/ZG5zLmhvc3QkLl9kZWZhdWx0LmNvbS5ibG94ZGVtby5uZXdob3N0:newhost.bloxdemo.com/default", 
        "ipv4addrs": [
            {
                "_ref": "record:host_ipv4addr/ZG5zLmhvc3RfYWRkcmVzcyQuX2RlZmF1bHQuY29tLmJsb3hkZW1vLm5ld2hvc3QuMTAuMTAuMTAuMTIu:10.10.10.12/newhost.bloxdemo.com/default", 
                "configure_for_dhcp": false, 
                "host": "newhost.bloxdemo.com", 
                "ipv4addr": "10.10.10.12"
            }
        ], 
        "name": "newhost.bloxdemo.com", 
        "view": "default"
    }
]

 

Delete the host using the reference:

 

curl -k -u admin:infoblox -X DELETE https://10.65.16.12/wapi/v1.0/record:host/ZG5zLmhvc3QkLl9kZWZhdWx0LmNvbS5ibG94ZGVtby5uZXdob3N0
