zabbix api - type query

[pds]

I've been experimenting with the zabbix api lately. I am wondering what the query type expects as paramater. Most of these calls begin with Select*

If any of people from zabbix itself are reading this please post more examples

you can check its usage here https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...ix/api/generic

for example:
i want only to get the name and status of hosts that belong to the group XXX,

#!/usr/bin/python

import ZabbixAPI

url='http://localhost/zabbix'
user='Admin'
password='123456'
groupName='XXX'
zbx=ZabbixAPI.ZabbixAPI(url,user,password)
zbx.login()
params = {'selectHosts': ['name','status'],
'filter': {'name': [groupName]}}
obj= zbx.json_obj('hostgroup.get',params)
result = zbx.postRequest(obj)
print result
