API: How to query for hosts via list of host names

MrWoodward · Post by **MrWoodward** » Thu Feb 22, 2018 1:35 pm

Right now I'm using the end point:

https://fqdn/nagiosxi/api/v1/objects/host?apikey=apikey&host_name=some_host_name

To get back detailed info about a host.

Is there a way to pass in a list of hostnames and get back a list of hosts?

Try:

https://fqdn/nagiosxi/api/v1/objects/host?apikey=apikey&host_name=in:host1,host2,host3,hostx

Totally worked. Also worked for other endpoints as well.

Made my code much much faster. Thanks!
