python - Infoblox WAPI: how to search for an IP -

our network team uses infoblox store information ip ranges (location, country, etc.) there api available infoblox's documentation , examples not practical.

i search via api details ip. start - happy server. modified the example found

import requests import json  url = "https://10.6.75.98/wapi/v1.0/" object_type = "network"     search_string = {'network':'10.233.84.0/22'}  response = requests.get(url + object_type, verify=false,   data=json.dumps(search_string), auth=('adminname', 'adminpass'))  print "status code: ", response.status_code print response.text 

which returns error 400

status code:  400 { "error": "admconprotoerror: invalid input: '{\"network\": \"10.233.84.0/22\"}'",   "code": "client.ibap.proto",   "text": "invalid input: '{\"network\": \"10.233.84.0/22\"}'" } 

i appreciate pointers managed api work python.

update: following on solution, below piece of code (it works not nice, streamlined, not checks errors, etc.) if 1 day have need same did.

def ip2site(myip): # argument ip want know localization of (in extensible_attributes)     baseurl = "https://the_infoblox_address/wapi/v1.0/"      # first network ip in     r = requests.get(baseurl+"ipv4address?ip_address="+myip, auth=('youruser', 'yourpassword'), verify=false)     j = simplejson.loads(r.content)     # if ip not in network error message dumped, including among others key 'code'     if 'code' not in j:          mynetwork = j[0]['network']         # extended atributes network         r = requests.get(baseurl+"network?network="+mynetwork+"&_return_fields=extensible_attributes", auth=('youruser', 'youpassword'), verify=false)         j = simplejson.loads(r.content)         location = j[0]['extensible_attributes']['location']         ipdict[myip] = location         return location     else:         return "error_ip_not_mapped_to_site" 

by using requests.get , json.dumps, aren't sending request while adding json query string? essentially, doing a

get https://10.6.75.98/wapi/v1.0/network?{\"network\": \"10.233.84.0/22\"} 

i've been using webapi perl, not python, if way code trying things, not work well. send json server, post , add '_method' argument 'get' value:

post https://10.6.75.98/wapi/v1.0/network  content: {    "_method": "get",    "network": "10.233.84.0/22" }  content-type: application/json

or, don't send json server , send

get https://10.6.75.98/wapi/v1.0/network?network=10.233.84.0/22 

which guessing achieve dropping json.dumps code , handing search_string requests.get directly.
