RESTObject

Code

class bigrest.common.restobject.RESTObject(properties: dict)

Represents a object created from a response of the iControl REST API.

Parameters:

properties – Represents the properties of the object.

Example

virtuals = device.load("/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual")
for virtual in virtuals:
    print(virtual.properties["name"])
    print(virtual)

Explanation

BIGREST creates a RESTObject object with the response of an HTTP request sent to the iControl REST API.

You can query the properties of the object using the properties attribute that is a Python dictionary.

In the example above, the first print will print just the name of the virtual server.

The next print will print the RESTObject.

The RESTObject has a method to deal with the print function, so it will print the properties in a JSON format.
