Valid creation of IPAM / IP address relations.

[xcdr]

Hi.

I use pynetbox for some glue between PROXMOX and NEBOX.

Part of my code for creating address instance looks that:

 addr = nb.ipam.ip_addresses.create(
        address=iface_addr,
        tenant=cluster.tenant.id,
        assigned_object_type = 'virtualization.vminterface',
        assigned_object_id = iface.id
 )

This is consistent with JSON presented by API.

But when I want search for address, I must search with similar filter:

current_addresses = nb.ipam.ip_addresses.filter(
        vminterface_id = iface.id
)

Discussion about this behavior is in issue: #5997

I cannot find documentation about it and my question is - How I should correctly creating address instances and why filter is inconsistent with keys presented by API.

See #6489.

Looks like you're doing it correctly already.

why filter is inconsistent with keys presented by API

The REST API query parameters are documented via the online documentation at /api/docs/.

As far as I can see, they're not consistent with the attribute names because each individual query parameter generates its own Django filter in the code here. In other words, it doesn't seem possible to have a pair of parameters working together as if they were a single parameter.
