Napalm API with netbox API

Hello! I apologize for my bad English.

I'm studying your API and I'm having trouble getting information from the API on the command line.

When I use a API netbox, all requests work correctly. For example:

"curl -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' 'http://localhost/api/dcim/interfaces/"

However, if I want to add napalm API, I do not get any data on the command line. In this case everything works correctly in the browser.

I'm trying to get information about the interfaces of the device:

http://localhost/api/dcim/devices/2/napalm/?format=json&method=get_interfaces

If I'm logged into the netbox in the browser, everything works correctly. At the command prompt, I get an empty response and an error of 403. I tried to do this with a python and found out that this was related to authorization. If I add an id cookie session I get all the data and it works.

import requests
import json


url='http://localhost/api/dcim/devices/2/napalm/?format=json&method=get_interfaces'
cookies = dict(sessionid='my id')
r = requests.get(url, cookies)
r.json()

I get the session ID with the help of the wireshark.

Unfortunately I can not understand how I get data on the command line (or python) and what I'm doing is wrong. Thank you.

It requires the authentication? (Because API returns 403.)

You'll need to authenticate to the API using an API token associated with a user account. This user (or one of its groups) must be assigned NAPALM read access in the admin UI ("dcim | device | Read-only access to devices via NAPALM"). Then you'll be able to access the NAPALM proxy endpoint.

Hope that helps!

Thank you! It works. I added a token to the administrator and get the data. I will write to you if I have any more questions.

Hi VK, I have installed Netbox NAPALM. I have added my 9300 cisco switch as a network device. Restconf is working on the switch. What should I do now? How can I pull LLDP stats? I have no idea, how can NAPALM can access switch for live data

Hello, taj singh!

The first thing you need to do is specify the correct platform for your device — in your case, this is Cisco IOS. You need to add the primary address of this switch in Netbox. After that, the LLDP neighbors tab will become available to you. Netbox should have access to the switch. See the ACL on your switch.
