Querying parameters for netbox api calls

[MichaelOjoko]

I am using request module to only include fields that I need from objects in the response,
The url looks something like this:
https://ip-for-instance/api/dcim/devices/?brief=id
which will only return the id, url, display, and name fields of each object as a response.

lets say I now want the racks field included in the device object, using
https://ip-for-instance/api/dcim/devices/?brief=id, racks

Still wont include racks, is there any other query url parameters available for netbox api?

Firstly, you are querying for devices. A Netbox device doesn't have an attribute called "racks" - a device can only be in a single rack. The attribute would be called "rack".

Secondly, the "brief" query parameter doesn't take a list of fields. According to the documentation it's used like this: ?brief=1. That's it.

What you are looking for is a new feature introduced in v4.0, called dynamic fields, which is query parameter fields rather than brief.

https://$NETBOX/api/dcim/devices/?fields=id,rack

Rack is what I meant, the question I was really wondering was is there a way to select the fields returned by an object within the url, Ive already tried the query parameter fields so it seems im not on the right version of netbox.
Thank you.
