A python module for working with the BIG-IP Next Central Manager API
Getting Started:
from next import Next
b = Next('ip/fqdn', 'username', 'password', session_verify=False)
irules = b.load('/api/v1/spaces/default/irules')
Method mapping:
| HTTP Method | F5-NCM Method |
|---|---|
| GET | load |
| POST | create |
| PUT | update |
| PATCH | modify |
| DELETE | delete |
This is lightweight session management and the onus is on the user to know the API calls needed.
For common tasks, utility functions will be added such as:
from next import Next
from utils.devices import get_devices
b = Next('172.16.2.105', 'username', 'password', session_verify=False)
devices = get_devices(b)
for device in devices:
print(f"Host: {device.get('hostname')}, Addr: {device.get('address')}, ID: {device.get('id')}")
