A lot of functionality in NetBrain can be handled using Python or cURL code. To make handling the code easier it would be great if NB could generate the code for a function for the user to work on.

Examples

log in, set tenant and domain of the currently used credentials
for any map, provide the code to export the map as Visio
for a discovery, recreate this discovery as Python code

This is similar to the code provided already to use a certain API stub.

An API browser built into the API would be awesome for this. Something similar to what Cisco did with vManage, where you navigate the API tree and the browser has a built in test button for each endpoint in the API. Build your queries in the browser and copy them over to your script.
