GraphQL API

Defining the Schema Class

A plugin can extend NetBox's GraphQL API by registering its own schema class. By default, NetBox will attempt to import graphql.schema from the plugin, if it exists. This path can be overridden by defining graphql_schema on the PluginConfig instance as the dotted path to the desired Python class. This class must be a subclass of graphene.ObjectType.

Example

# graphql.py
import strawberry
import strawberry_django

from . import models


@strawberry_django.type(
    models.MyModel,
    fields='__all__',
)
class MyModelType:
    pass


@strawberry.type
class MyQuery:
    @strawberry.field
    def dummymodel(self, id: int) -> DummyModelType:
        return None
    dummymodel_list: list[DummyModelType] = strawberry_django.field()


schema = [
    MyQuery,
]

GraphQL Objects

NetBox provides two object type classes for use by plugins.

BaseObjectType

Base GraphQL object type for all NetBox objects. Restricts the model queryset to enforce object permissions.

NetBoxObjectType (ChangelogMixin, CustomFieldsMixin, JournalEntriesMixin, TagsMixin, BaseObjectType)

GraphQL type for most NetBox models. Includes support for custom fields, change logging, journaling, and tags.
