So I'm trying to get started with the Netbox API. However, so far i have been unsuccessful to even recreate simple tutorials. I've created the API user and token.

Here is the basic object creation:

nb = pynetbox.api(url="<myurl>", token="<mytoken>")
nb.http_session.verify = False

Only thing I got to work is print(nb.version). If I try

all_prefixes = nb.ipam.prefixes.all()
print(all_prefixes)

The output is just nothing. If I try

x = nb.dcim.devices.get(1)
print(x)

I get Error 403 - Forbidden ('You do not have permission to perform this action.') Can anyone help me out here? Why is it so hard to make simple requests?

You need to grant certain permissions to the user who makes the requests to be able to get devices, prefixes, etc. Go to https://your.netbox.instance/admin/auth/user/, select the user whose token is used for requests and grant certain permissions:

NetBox user permissions

Alternatively, you can make the user superuser so that you don't have to explicitly list the required permissions:

NetBox superuser checbox
