Return a single result with Pynetbox.

[AaronJamesMyers]

Im new to the Programming world. but ive made some headway here.

I'm trying to write a script that will autoassign the next available interface on a device using pynetbox.

uplinkports = nb.dcim.interfaces.filter(device=UplinkCLLI, connected="false")

I can iterate and print these results. But I can't find a way to just extract the first value from the Recordset.

Is there a filter option that will allow me to only return a single results, or a way to select the first returned value.

I can do this using the Netbox API, but was just wondering if i can save a few lines of code and do this with Pynetbox.

Edit: I misread the post and thought you wanted to create a netbox script.

[markkuleinio]

>>> list(netbox.ipam.asns.filter())
[AS64800, AS64801, ... ]

and

>>> next(netbox.ipam.asns.filter())
AS64800

or

>>> list(netbox.ipam.asns.filter())[0]
AS64800

To be clear, the RecordSet generator (returned by .all() and .filter()) can be converted to a list with list() and then you can index it normally, like list(netbox.ipam.asns.filter())[0] to get the first item (not efficient because it needs to fetch all items first to "blow out" the generator), or you can use the next() builtin to take an item from the generator (fast because not all items are fetched).

The next() builtin is EXACTLY what I'm looking for.

Thanks so much.
