nbforager
=========


Overview
========

Python package designed to help work with the `Netbox`_ REST API.

- `NbApi`_ Request data from Netbox using filter parameters identical to those in the Web UI filter form. Filter parameters use the ``OR`` operator.
- `NbForager`_ The REST API returns objects that contain a brief representation of related objects. NbForager replaces brief data with full and objects look like a recursive multidimensional dictionary.
- `NbParser`_ Extract typed values from a Netbox object dictionary by using a chain of keys.

Checked with Python >= 3.8, Netbox >= v3.6.
Fully documented on `Read the Docs`_.

Requirements
============

Python >=3.8,<3.12


Quickstart
==========

Install the package from pypi.org

.. code:: bash

    pip install nbforager

or from github.com repository

.. code:: bash

    pip install git+https://github.com/vladimirs-git/nbforager


NbForager demonstration.
Assemble Netbox objects within self as a multidimensional dictionary.

Request the main object. All nested objects also are requested.
Assemble multidimensional dictionary.

.. code:: python

    from pprint import pprint

    from nbforager import NbForager

    HOST = "demo.netbox.dev"
    TOKEN = "1234567890123456789012345678901234567890"
    nbf = NbForager(host=HOST, token=TOKEN, threads=10)

    # Request devices with all nested object: device-roles, tenants, tags, etc.
    nbf.dcim.devices.get(nested=True)
    print(f"{len(nbf.root.dcim.devices)=}")
    print(f"{len(nbf.root.dcim.device_roles)=}")

    # len(nbf.root.dcim.device_roles)=10
    # len(nbf.root.tenancy.tenants)=5
    # len(nbf.root.extras.tags)=2


    # Assemble objects within self as multidimensional dictionary.
    tree = nbf.join_tree()
    pprint(list(tree.dcim.devices.values())[0])
