GET¶
Obtaining list of Vrfs¶
It is possible to specify in several ways fields desired to be retrieved in Vrf module through the use of some GET parameters. You are not required to use these parameters, but depending on your needs it can make your requests faster if you are dealing with many objects and you need few fields. The following fields are available for Vrf module (hyperlinked or bold marked fields acts as foreign keys and can be expanded using __basic or __details when using fields, include or exclude GET Parameters. Hyperlinked fields points to its documentation):
- id
- internal_name
- vrf
Obtaining list of Vrfs through id’s¶
URL:
/api/v3/vrf/[vrf_ids]/
where vrf_ids are the identifiers of Vrfs desired to be retrieved. It can use multiple id’s separated by semicolons.
Example with Parameter IDs:
One ID:
/api/v3/vrf/1/
Many IDs:
/api/v3/vrf/1;3;8/
Obtaining list of Vrfs through extended search¶
More information about Django QuerySet API, please see:
:ref:`Django QuerySet API reference <https://docs.djangoproject.com/el/1.10/ref/models/querysets/>`_
URL:
/api/v3/vrf/
GET Parameter:
search=[encoded dict]
Example:
/api/v3/vrf/?search=[encoded dict]
Request body example:
{
"extends_search": [{
"vrf__contains": "Default",
}],
"start_record": 0,
"custom_search": "",
"end_record": 25,
"asorting_cols": [],
"searchable_columns": []
}
- When “search” is used, “total” property is also retrieved.
Using fields GET parameter¶
Through fields, you can specify desired fields.
Example with field id:
fields=id
Example with fields id and internal_name:
fields=id,internal_name
Using kind GET parameter¶
The Vrf module also accepts the kind GET parameter. Only two values are accepted by kind: basic or details. For each value it has a set of default fields. The difference between them is that in general details contains more fields than basic, and the common fields between them are more detailed for details.
Example with basic option:
kind=basic
Response body with basic kind:
{
"vrfs": [
{
"id": <integer>,
"internal_name": <string>,
"vrf": <string>
},...
]
}
Example with details option:
kind=details
Response body with details kind:
{
"vrfs": [
{
"id": <integer>,
"internal_name": <string>,
"vrf": <string>
},...
]
}
Using fields and kind together¶
If fields is being used together kind, only the required fields will be retrieved instead of default.
Example with details kind and id field:
kind=details&fields=id
Default behavior without kind and fields¶
If neither kind nor fields are used in request, the response body will look like this:
Response body:
{
"vrfs": [
{
"id": <integer>,
"internal_name": <string>,
"vrf": <string>
},...
]
}
