Is there a way to get the device "name" using "address"?
GET /api/running/devices/device?select=name;address
gives
{ "collection": { "tailf-ncs:device": [
{"name": "DEVICE1","address": "1.1.1.1" },
{"name": "DEVICE2","address": "2.2.2.2" }
] }...
https://gitlab.com/nso-developer/rest-api-explorer should build the POST url and body (in JSON or XML) automatically, by clicking the parameters to be included.
Give https://gitlab.com/nso-developer/rest-api-explorer a try: create JSON or XML payload automatically by clicking the parameters you want to include.
