Does the Cato API support batch submissions?

Sean

I'm looking to add over 200 DHCP reservations to one of our sites. Does the API support batch submissions in the following format or do I need to include the 'accountId" and 'siteId' lines for each host?

[
  {
    "accountId": "123456",
    "siteId": "78910",
    "input": {
      "name": "Host1",
      "ip": "192.168.1.10",
      "macAddress": "00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E"
    }
  },
  {
    "input": {
      "name": "Host2",
      "ip": "192.168.1.11",
      "macAddress": "00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5F"
    }
  }
]

Hello Sean,

There isn't really a batch mode for addStaticHost. The best I can come up with to make it seem slightly more "batched" is to combine multiple addStaticHosts with aliases in a single mutation operation:

However from a rate limit and logging perspective, these are still two separate API calls. I usually do automation with a Python script so I think it's more efficient and less code for me to loop around on one call, rather than try to construct a large unified single "multi-mutation" like this one. Easier to handle errors too I think.

Regards,

Peter
