Reading the data of plugins : How ?

[nklamann]

Hello all,
i want to download the data of my netbox installation for later analysis with a relational model. For this i prefer a python interface to REST or graphql. Poking in the pynetbox api I see nearly everything I need.

But how can I get at the data of the installed netbox plugins ?
UPDATE: data means the information which is managed by the plugin , like zones or nameservers for the netbox_dns plugin.

I am aware of plugins.installed_plugins() , can I do anything with the results ?

>>> nb = pynetbox.api(...)
>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> pprint(nb.status())
{'django-version': '5.2.8',
 'hostname': 'netbox-lab',
 'installed_apps': {'django_filters': '25.2',
                    'django_prometheus': '2.4.1',
                    'django_rq': '3.2.1',

If the plugin has API interface, then you can usually use it with pynetbox.
