Assigning DCIM site with a Tenant via Pynetbox

[coujin11]

import pynetbox

# Initialize the NetBox client
netbox = pynetbox.api("http://****/")
netbox.token = "****"

# Define the tenant ID you want to assign
tenant_id = 22  # Replace with the correct tenant ID

# Retrieve tenant details to verify ID
tenant = netbox.tenancy.tenants.get(tenant_id)
if tenant is None:
    raise ValueError(f"Tenant with ID {tenant_id} not found")

# Filter sites based on a name pattern (or any other criteria)
test_sites = netbox.dcim.sites.filter(name="Hello Student - Princess Road - Leicester")

# Update each site with the new tenant
for site in test_sites:
    print(f"Updating site: {site.name}")

    # Prepare the update payload
    update_payload = {
        'tenant': tenant_id  # Only provide the tenant ID
    }

    # Attempt to update
    try:
        site.update(update_payload)
        print(f"Updated site with ID {site.id}")
    except pynetbox.RequestError as e:
        print(f"Error updating site {site.id}: {e}")

print("Update complete.")

Output:
Error updating site 24: The request failed with code 400 Bad Request: {'tenant': {'non_field_errors': ['Invalid data. Expected a dictionary, but got int.']}} Update complete.

V4.0.0

Any ideas or thoughts?

Does pynetbox not work with - netbox.dcim.sites.update?

tenant -> tenant_id ?

I am also getting this when just doing it via curl:

curl -X PATCH "http://:8043/api/dcim/sites/17/"
-H "Authorization: Token "
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '{
"tenant": {
"id": 23,
"name": "Sheffield Three",
"slug": "sheffield-three",
"group": {
"id": 2
}
}
}'
{"tenant":{"non_field_errors":["The fields group, name must make a unique set.","The fields group, slug must make a unique set."]}}

I cant seem to find any why to use pynetbox to update a dcim sites tenant and tenant group. Any advise would be appreciated.

I mentioned tenant_id already above. https://demo.netbox.dev/api/schema/swagger-ui/#/dcim/dcim_sites_list says:

tenant_group_id
array[integer]
Tenant Group (ID)

tenant_id
array[integer]
Tenant (ID)

I must be missing / misunderstanding something here:

# NetBox API URL and token
netbox_url = "http://:8043"
api_token = ""

# Headers for authentication and content type
headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Token {api_token}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
}

# Site ID to update
site_id = 25

# Tenant ID to add
tenant_id = 22

# URL for the site
site_url = f"{netbox_url}/api/dcim/sites/{site_id}/"

# Data to update the site
data = {
    "tenant": tenant_id
}

# Send the PATCH request to update the site
response = requests.patch(site_url, headers=headers, json=data)

# Check if the request was successful
if response.status_code == 200:
    print("Site updated successfully")
else:
    print(f"Failed to update site: {response.status_code}")
    print(response.json())

Failed to update site: 400
{'tenant': {'non_field_errors': ['Invalid data. Expected a dictionary, but got int.']}}```

[markkuleinio]

data = {
    "tenant_id": tenant_id
}
