Creating route-target/VRF with API not retaining tenant id

[Callum]

Hey,

Using the below code with python requests:

url = 'https://netbox.internal.co.uk/api/ipam/route-targets/'

data = { 'name': rt, 'description': vrf, 'tenant': tenant_id }

response = requests.post(url, data=data, headers=headers)

My "tenant_id" is an integer, I have also tried hard coding a number to see if it was something with my string breaking it:

url = 'https://netbox.internal.co.uk/api/ipam/route-targets/'

data = { 'name': rt, 'description': vrf, 'tenant': 42 }

response = requests.post(url, data=data, headers=headers)

Both create the route-target however with no tenant

Is anyone able to share any working code?

Thanks!

Hi Callum,

 Out of interest, most use the pynetbox module for this ... you may wish to consider the module.

 Have you tried using the test functions in the <netbox.ip>/api/docs ?

 If I run POST using api docs using the below data (where tenant 1 is a valid tenant) - it holds the tenant just fine:

{
  "name": "test",
  "tenant": 1,
  "description": "string",
  "custom_fields": {}
}

  returning:

{
  "id": 1,
  "url": "http://192.168.1.135/api/ipam/route-targets/1/",
  "display": "test",
  "name": "test",
  "tenant": {
    "id": 1,
    "url": "http://192.168.1.135/api/tenancy/tenants/1/",
    "display": "wibble",
    "name": "wibble",
    "slug": "wibble"
  },
  "description": "string",
  "tags": [],
  "custom_fields": {},
  "created": "2021-11-19",
  "last_updated": "2021-11-19T12:39:14.087321Z"
}

 netbox = latest release

Hi Chris,

Weird, I tried the api docs as you suggested and it worked with no issues, I then copied exactly the same data into requests and it didn't work:

import requests

import json

url = 'https://netbox.internal.co.uk/api/ipam/route-targets/'

data = {

        "name": "string",

        "tenant": 42,

        "description": "string"

}

headers = {'Authorization': "Token xxxxx"}

response = requests.post(url, data=data, headers=headers)

print(response)

I've tried pynetbox and that seems to work ok, jus find it very odd this specifically doesn't work

Thanks!

Hi Callum,

 I tested this on mine, same result - after some playing - the issue is you need to set json= the data and not data, hence your post becomes:

response = requests.post(url, json=data, headers=headers)

 Try this and let me know if it resolves
