This page provides for examples of how to use pynautobot from the community. What are some of the common use cases? Well here are just a few, including the support of additional applications to be installed on top of Nautobot.

In [1]: import pynautobot

In [2]: nautobot = pynautobot.api("https://demo.nautobot.com", token=nautobot_api_token)

In [3]: jobs_results = getattr(nautobot.extras, "job-results")

In [4]: jobs_results
Out[4]: <pynautobot.core.endpoint.Endpoint at 0x1047929a0>

In [5]: jobs_results.all()

This demonstrates accessing the Device Lifecycle Management endpoints.

import pynautobot

nautobot = pynautobot.api(
    url="http://localhost:8000",
    token="d6f4e314a5b5fefd164995169f28ae32d987704f",
)

test = getattr(nautobot.plugins, "nautobot-device-lifecycle-mgmt")

cves = test.cve.all()

This is how to assign an IP address to an interface. We need to provide the id of the objects as parameters.

import pynautobot

nautobot = pynautobot.api(
    url="http://localhost:8000/",
    token="d6f4e314a5b5fefd164995169f28ae32d987704f",
)

# Get the IP address object
ip_address = nb.ipam.ip_addresses.get(address="192.0.2.1")

# Get the interface object
nb_interface = nb.dcim.interfaces.get(name="GigabitEthernet0/0", device=nb.dcim.devices.get(name="sample-rtr-01").id)

# Assign IP to Interface
ip_to_interface = nb.ipam.ip_address_to_interface.create(
    ip_address = ip_address.id,
    interface = nb_interface.id
)
