Netbox Device Type Import
This library is intended to be your friend and help you import all the device-types defined within the the NetBox Device Type Library Repository.
This currently only works on NetBox v2.7.8.
Getting Started
These instructions will get you a copy of the project on your machine to allow you to import the device types you would like without copy and pasting them into the NetBox UI.

Python3
Python PIP
Using the Repo

git clone https://github.com/minitriga/Netbox-Device-Type-Library-Import.git

Using the script
To use the script simply run the following.
python nb-dt-import.py
This will pull the device-type library from Gitlab and install it into the .repo directory. if this directory is already there it will perform a git pull to update the reposity.

This script currently accepts vendors so that only a few vendors are imported into your NetBox Environment.
This can be done the following.

--vendors also accepts a list of vendors so that multiple vendors could be imported.
python nb-dt-import.py --vendors apc juniper
