A while ago i built the netpalm project
https://github.com/tbotnz/netpalm
Talks a Rest API to your app and CLI/NETCONF/RESTCONF to your network devices
- Provides a multi-level abstraction interface for service modeling of Create, Retrieve, Delete methods
- Ability to write your own service templates
- Per device task queuing (Ensure you dont overload your VTY's)
- Large amount of supported multi vendor devices ( cheers to the netmiko & napalm & ncclient lads )
- Supports TextFSM for parsing/structuring device data (includes ntc-templates)
- Supports Jinja2 for model driven deployments of config onto devices accross napalm, netmiko and ncclient
- Can be used to execute any python script via the ReST API and includes passing in of parameters
- Includes large postman collection of examples
- Supports automated download and installation of TextFSM templates from http://textfsm.nornir.tech online TextFSM development tool
- Automatically generates a JSON schema for any Jinja2 Template
- Can render NETCONF XML responses into JSON on the fly
- Can render Jinja2 templates only if required via the API
- Asynchronous parallel processing
- Task oriented
I've also put together an UI (experimental) for it built on top of the popular node-red framework. See image below

Feel free to give it a try ( requires a running netpalm app as a pre-req )

Just trying to gauge if there is sufficient interest in the UI project to continue to develop :)
