nfctl demo

Create network snippet from demo.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import netfoundry

# user-default path is ~/.netfoundry/
organization = netfoundry.Organization(credentials="credentials.json")

# use some network group, default is to use the first and there's typically only one
network_group = netfoundry.NetworkGroup(organization)

# create a network
network_name = "BibbidiBobbidiBoo"
if network_group.network_exists(network_name):
    # use the network
    network = netfoundry.Network(network_group, network_name=network_name)
    network.wait_for_status("PROVISIONED")
else:
    network_id = network_group.create_network(name=network_name)['id']
    network = netfoundry.Network(network_group, network_id=network_id)
    network.wait_for_status("PROVISIONED")
