This example clearly shows the GraphQL query syntax and the expected output to expect. The output is
formatted in JSON in GraphiQL, but the data is returned as a Java hashmap within a script. This should
be treated as a regular Python dictionary. From here, you have all the tools you need to include NBI
CALLs within your Python scripts and workflows.
Using this same query example in a Python script is easy:
query = '''
{
network {
devices {
baseMac
firmware
sitePath
}
}
}
'''
res = emc_nbi.query(query)
i = 0
j = 0
for item in res['network']['devices']:
if item['sitePath'] == "/World/Extreme Fabric Connect":
i += 1
elif item['sitePath'] == "/World/IP Campus":
j += 1
else:
continue
print "There are {} devices in Extreme Fabric Connect site".format(i)
print "There are {} devices in IP Campus site".format(j)
Copy and paste your query from GraphiQL as a string in your Python code, and then CALL it using the
provided emc_nbi Python object, with the query method.
The hashmap data format is natively converted to a Python dictionary. This data should not be treated
as JSON, which will trigger an error.
The output is:
