get-prefixes (and probably others) ignores next field and therefor only returns first 1000 entries

Opened this issue · 1 comments

I noticed that the library does nothing with the provided next field of the api, and therefor stays quiet about the fact that not all values were returned.
Can something be added (an extra key for example) which automatically request the next url (based on the next field) and add it to the to return list.

https://127.0.0.1/api/ipam/prefixes/

HTTP 200 OK
Allow: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS
Content-Type: application/json
Vary: Accept

{
    "count": 1160,
    "next": "https://127.0.0.1/api/ipam/prefixes/?limit=1000?offset=1000",

https://127.0.0.1/api/ipam/prefixes/?limit=1000?offset=1000

HTTP 200 OK

{
    "count": 1160,
    "next": "https://127.0.0.1/api/ipam/prefixes/?limit=1000&offset=2000",
    "previous": "https://127.0.0.1/api/ipam/prefixes/?limit=1000",

I now do this as temporary solution

prefixes = []
offset_num = 0
while 1:
    templist = netbox.ipam.get_ip_prefixes(offset=offset_num)
    if templist:
        prefixes.extend(templist)
        offset_num += 1000
        templist = []
    else:
        break

The loop continues until an empty list is returned, which requires an extra unnecessary api call.

Reproduced with ipam.get_ip_addresses(), only 1000 records. I want to add some new functions for search.
