Creating Cables with API

[Avitium]

Hey there! I have a really simple question most likely, but I'm struggling to figure out the syntax to create cables using the API. In the examples given in the API docs, it mentions object_type, and object_id for the "a" and "b" terminations...but everything I try to put in those is not working. This is the part I'm talking about:

"a_terminations": [ { "object_type": "string", "object_id": 0 } ],

So lets say I have a port on my switch(interface) and a port on a panel(front-port) that I want to create a cable between. What would the above block look like if I wanted the "a" termination to be the switch interface port? Thanks in advance for any and all help!

I do most of my stuff in Python, but what I usually do is create a dummy connection and perform a GET call on the particular endpoint via Swagger.
Thus, a GET call of the cable path ID I created in the GUI, will give me the following output:

    {
      "id": 2075,
      "url": "https://netbox.netboxServer.com/api/dcim/cable-terminations/2075/",
      "display": "Cable #1037 to test",
      "cable": 1037,
      "cable_end": "A",
      "termination_type": "dcim.interface"}

So "object_type" should be something similar to the sluggified version on the interface type (interface, front, console, ....), depending on Interface type it could be "dcim.interface", "dcim.frontport", "dcim.console".

Thank you for the help!! I was actually doing "dcim.front-port" for my b-termination, so that's why it was upset...oops. Doing that GET request you recommended helped me figure it out, you're awesome :)
