I created a prefix 2a0a:e5c1:144:1::/64 using netbox web interface. It can be seen at http://netbox-dev.ungleich.ch/ipam/prefixes/1/ then use netbox's official Python library pynetbox to get and consume next free ip
import pynetbox
# Create connection
nb = pynetbox.api('http://netbox-dev.ungleich.ch/',
token='6042908243ca4b3cb81040064165eb187af48b6f')
# Get prefix of which we want to get
# next free ip address of
prefix = nb.ipam.prefixes.get(1)
# Get free IP
free_ip = prefix.available_ips.list()[0]
print("Free IP", free_ip)
# Consume or Mark that IP as used
prefix.available_ips.create(data={"address": free_ip["address"]})
print("Free IP after using last", prefix.available_ips.list()[0])
Output:
Free IP {'family': 6, 'address': '2a0a:e5c1:144:1::/64', 'vrf': None}
Free IP after using last {'family': 6, 'address': '2a0a:e5c1:144:1::1/64', 'vrf': None}
