Originally created by @AdilsonTorres on GitHub (Nov 26, 2025).

NetBox version

v4.4.7

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Hi, I believe adding support for GraphQL Mutations to modify Netbox objects would be a valuable feature, especially since the API is currently read-only.

Use case

Being able to manipulate NetBox and plugin data using GraphQL instead of the REST API.

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

No response

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Dec 4, 2025):

@AdilsonTorres we've intentionally avoided supporting write operations since the GraphQ API was introduced in NetBox v3.0 due to concerns around performance and security. While we could potentially revisit the idea for a future release, the initiative would need to start with a much more fleshed-out feature request detailing the proposed implementation. Would you like to spend a few hours expanding this FR accordingly?

@jeremystretch Yes, I can do that. Could you provide references or reasons for these concerns related to performance and security? I will try to enhance my FR in more detail. I would also apprecisate it if you could give some advice on the recommended structure for expandind this FR.

I'm afraid I don't have any time to dedicate to this initiative. You'll have to search prior issues and discussions to see what concerns were raised, and coordinate with other interested volunteers.

If you're not sure how to go about this, I suggest closing this FR and starting instead with a discussion to source and refine an implementation strategy.
