Python library to automatically request related objects?

[polski-g]

In the VMware python API, it supports automatically fetching related objects. Does something like this exist for Netbox?

For example, I can query for hosts.all() and it will return a list of all hosts via a single HTTP request, but then if I iterate through each host and fetch all child VMs, another HTTP request will go out. I do not have to compose a separate standalone fetch to get the VM list.

for h in hosts.all():
    for vm in h.vms():
        print(vm)

If you use the pynetbox python library you can do precisely that. It will handle the additional needed API get request without you having to think about it. Example: you have an interface and woul like to know the device tenant for the iterface, you simply do: x = interface.device.tenant.name

In th backend, this is multiple requests
