While familiarizing myself with v2 of the API I noticed that there is an issue when a single item is returned for the host & service class of the status endpoint.
Here's an example python using a limited query to isolate localhost and return only one result.
Code: Select all
#VARS FOR API
myxi = "192.168.1.1"
myep = "status"
mycls = "host"
qry = "&name=localhost"
mytkn = "auth_token" #provided by nagiosxi api
#NAGIOSXI API V2
def api2(myxi,myep,mycls,qry,mytkn):
try:
myurl = "https://{}/nagiosxi/api/v2/{}/{}?{}&token={}".format(myxi,myep,mycls,qry,mytkn)
#GET RESULTS
response = requests.get(myurl, verify=False)
r = response.json()
except Exception as e:
r = e
finally:
return r
Code: Select all

Now if the query is formatted to return 2 or more hosts/services, we get something that looks more usable.
Using the same example from above but, passing in a query to isolate two hosts.
Code: Select all
qry = "&name=in:localhost,u2204ncpa"
Code: Select all
HOSTCOUNT=2
