API response for PORTS

Help
1

Hi,

At the moment API call to “/api/v0/devices/:hostname/ports” returns ifName which is great but not much use if you are parsing this data and have no idea what it is. Would be nice to have ifDesc or / and ifAlias added (maybe even port id) e.g:

{
“status”: “ok”,
“ports”: [
{
“ifName”: “GigabitEthernet2/0.101”,
"ifDesc": "Customer ABC" ,
"port_id": (int)
}
],
}%

Thank you.

That’s a response to completely different API route, I’m looking for host specific ports, not all :wink:

i mean:

/api/v0/devices/:hostname/ports?columns=ifName%2Cport_id%2Cport_descr_descr

Use the Port API in it

Now u got your output

Sorry that im not that clear :slight_smile:

By the way, you wan ifAlias, not ifDescr… ifDescr is the hardware supplied description of the port. ifAlias is user editable.

But yes, you need two api calls I think, one to get the port id you are interested in, and another get the info about that port.

Yep, that’s done it :slight_smile:

what SpinperVegeta suggested works :slight_smile: which is just what I’ve been looking for. Shame it’s a long URL request :stuck_out_tongue:
