API Endpoint to provision a netbox script

[kochargs]

I can find API endpoints to create git synced datasources and trigger a sync from API.
However, now i'd like to use this datasource to create a script in netbox that i then want to trigger via aPI ( this bit is also available )
but the part in middle where i can create the script is missing.

Could someone suggest how that can be done ?

I was looking at this a while back and I think it cannot be done via API.

I hacked something together that called regular UI URLs and it worked (see below)... But having a proper API would be nice.

# ensure netbox-data git repo si added as data source
# then add all netbox scripts (via gui form)
import requests
from time import sleep
from sys import exit

from ci_vars import api_token, data_source_branch, data_source_url, login, url_base

s=requests.Session()
api = requests.Session()
api.headers['Authorization'] = f'Token {api_token}'

exit_code = 0

if not login(s):
    print('netbox login failed')
    exit(1)

print('Searching for data source')
api_url = f'{url_base}/api/core/data-sources/?type=git&enabled=true&source_url={data_source_url}'
r = api.get(api_url)
r.raise_for_status()
if len(r.json()['results']) == 1:
    data_source_id = r.json()['results'][0]['id']
    print(f'Found data source ID:{data_source_id}')
elif len(r.json()['results']) == 0:
    print(f'No data source found. Creating it.')
    data = dict(name='gitlab netbox data', type='git', enabled=True, source_url=data_source_url, parameters=dict(branch=data_source_branch))
    r = api.post(api_url, json=data)
    r.raise_for_status()
    data_source_id = r.json()['id']
    print(f'Data source created. ID:{data_source_id}')
else:
    print('Found multiple active data sources with same URL, cannot select correct one. Aborting.')
    exit(1)

print('Trigger sync')
api_url = f'{url_base}/api/core/data-sources/{data_source_id}/sync/'
api.post(api_url)
sleep(3)

print('Find existing scripts')
api_url = f'{url_base}/api/extras/scripts/?limit=200'
r = api.get(api_url)
r.raise_for_status()
modules_used = set(map(lambda e: e.get('module'), r.json()['results']))
print(f'Found {len(modules_used)} script modules')

print('Find data source script files')
api_url = f'{url_base}/api/core/data-files/?source_id={data_source_id}&path__ic=scripts/&limit=200'
r = api.get(api_url)
r.raise_for_status()
data_files = set(map(lambda e: e['id'], filter(lambda e: e['path'].startswith('scripts/') and e['path'].endswith('.py'), r.json()['results'])))
print(f'Found {len(data_files)} data files matching scripts/*.py')

to_import = data_files - modules_used
print(f'Try to import {len(data_files)} script files: {data_files}')

url = f'{url_base}/extras/scripts/add/'
for module_id in data_files:
    print(f'Importing file id:{module_id} ... ', end='')
    r=s.get(url)
    r=s.post(
        url,
        headers={"Referer":r.url},
        data={
            'csrfmiddlewaretoken':r.cookies['csrftoken'],
            'data_source': {data_source_id},
            'data_file': module_id,
            'auto_sync_enabled': 'on',
        }
    )
    r.raise_for_status()

    # test via API load if scripts are valid
    api_url = f'{url_base}/api/extras/scripts/'
    r = api.get(api_url)
    if r.ok:
        print('Success')

print('Data source script import completed.')
exit(exit_code)
