 Description   

When making the triggers.get API call and passing a host or hostids as parameters, it returns all triggers configured in Zabbix instead of filtering those that belong to the specified host. When testing the same method through Postman, it works correctly and only returns the triggers for the host provided as a parameter.

Attached are scripts to reproduce the error.
Python Using host
from zabbix_utils import ZabbixAPI

zabbix_url = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
api_key = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
zapi = ZabbixAPI(url=zabbix_url, token=api_key)
hostname= "xxxxxxxxxxx"
triggers = zapi.trigger.get(

{ "host": hostname, "output": "extend", }

)
for trigger in triggers:
print(f"- {trigger['description']}")

Python Using host
from zabbix_utils import ZabbixAPI

zabbix_url = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
api_key = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
zapi = ZabbixAPI(url=zabbix_url, token=api_key)
hostname= "xxxxxxxxxxx"

hosts = zapi.host.get({"filter": {"host": hostname}})
host_id = hosts[0]['hostid']
triggers = zapi.trigger.get(

{ "hostids": host_id, "output": "extend", }

)
for trigger in triggers:
print(f"- {trigger['description']}")

Postman:
Get: https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/api_jsonrpc.php
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"method": "trigger.get",
"params":

{ "host": "xxxxxxxxxxxx", "output": "extend" }

,
"auth": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"id": 1
}

This was tested with Zabbix 7.

You use API methods incorrectly:

triggers = zapi.trigger.get(
    host = 'Zabbix server',
    output = ["extend"]
    )

Please check official documentation: https://github.com/zabbix/python-zabbix-utils

Same Result using 
["extend"]

 
from zabbix_utils import ZabbixAPI

  1. Conexión al Zabbix
    zabbix_url = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    api_key = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    zapi = ZabbixAPI(url=zabbix_url, token=api_key)
    hostname= "Zabbix Server"
    hosts = zapi.host.get({"filter": {"host": hostname}})
    host_id = hosts[0]['hostid']
    triggers = zapi.trigger.get( {         "host": hostname,         "output": ["extend"]     }

    )
    for trigger in triggers:
        print(f"- {trigger['description']}")

"Thank you for responding. However, isn't this something that should be resolved by the Python library if the request is malformed? Due to the lack of [], it returns all the triggers."

Comment by Alexey Pustovalov [ 2024 Aug 22 ]

It is not malformed, you just do not specify any parameters. By default, it means all data.
