pynetbox examples

Long time network engineer, did some perl a long time ago and am liking python pretty well but the pynetbox documentation is badly lacking IMO. If I were a python wizard I'm sure it would all be obvious but I'm not and it's really frustrating that more example weren't provided.

Many of the following examples were cadged from various places on the interwebs and HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED.

import pynetbox
NETBOX = 'https://netbox.fq.dn/'
nb = pynetbox.api(NETBOX, get_token('nb'))

Whenever I need to install some python libraries from a git repositories, I see a lot of way to do it. It is really confusing. This should be the reason why I can't memorize it. I can see how a very simple requirement is handled with to many confusing way. There shouldn't be to many way. Some of them is not working neither. At last, I decided to blog it.

As you may know, you can use two protocols which are http and ssh to do something on git repositories. Using protocol ssh instead of http may provide some ease of use. Because of nature of ssh, you can do something with your primary/public keys. So, you don't have to input your credentials all the time. But I'll be
