how to get .id via python

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hello,
I am trying to get an id via python and api:

api = connection.get_api()
list_address = api.get_resource('/ip/firewall/address-list/')
test = list_address.get(address="1.2.3.4")
print(test)
connection.disconnect()

The Output looks like this:

[{u'creation-time': u'jun/07/2019 16:23:33', u'list': u'port scanners', u'dynamic': u'true', u'disabled': u'false', u'timeout': u'1w5d27m59s', u'address': u'1.2.3.4', u'id': u'*62C'}]

But how can I get the ID only?

To get only specific parameter via API use proplist, wiki has all the info you need:

And here is example:

thanks for your reply but I not looking for OID but rather .id

test = api(cmd='/ip/firewall/address-list/print')
id = api(cmd='/=.proplist=.id')

brings:
librouteros.exceptions.MultiTrapError: no such command or directory (=.proplist=.id), no such command

print gives names, find gives id.

In cli you can get id with this command

/ip firewall address-list find

The see the id

:put [/ip firewall address-list find]

Most likely you are doing message encoding wrong. You are trying to send =.proplist as a new separate command, not parameter for previous command.
Use our python reference example from our wiki:

I understand now:

/ip/firewall/address-list/getall
?address=0.0.0.0/8
=.proplist=.id

<<< /ip/firewall/address-list/getall
<<< ?address=0.0.0.0/8
<<< =.proplist=.id
<<< 
>>> !re
>>> =.id=*1
>>> 
>>> !done
>>>

I am using librouteros or routeros-api but there I cann’t find how to add this attributes
