Filter multiple machines with the similar name

Feature Request

For example I have many devsecops-box machines such as devsecops-box-123, devsecops-box-456, etc.

import requests

token = "xxx"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + token}
url = "https://api.hetzner.cloud/v1/servers"

params = {
    "name": "devsecops-box",
}

r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=params)
r.json()["servers"]

While trying above code, it's give me empty result because the filter by name need to be exactly same.

Based on documentation, there is no way for doing it. Unless we don't use filter.

Hi @agusmakmun

I understand the need for such feature, but changing this on the API side might be a breaking change. So I am afraid this will not be implemented.

As alternative, I recommend you to use labels to query "groups" of servers. For example, you could set the group=devsecops-box label on your servers, and use params = { "label_selector": "group=devsecops-box" } to only retrieve the server you need.
