I'm actually building a client web app to work with Netbox and i am using Pynetbox to achieve this. My issue is that i need users to authenticate while doing a POST onto Netbox. I have noticed that when i am manually creating devices onto Netbox, i see a new log into "Recent Activity ". BUT if i create a device via the API, the activity is not logged into "Recent Activity". Even though they have a valid token for the API, it is not logged onto Netbox home interface. For security purposes, i would like to track the activities to allow transparent transactions by users.

Thanks for your help!
