How do I update fields for an IP address using the API?

Basically the exact same as going on here: (1) IPAM API: Update IP Address Comments Based On IP Setting - Forum - IP Address Manager (IPAM) - THWACK (solarwinds.com)

But with API calls using e.g. python.

Looking here: Swagger UI (solarwinds.github.io) I can only find an endpoint which can update the status of an IP, but none of the details...

Okay, I figured it out:

import requests, json, urllib3

# SolarWinds credentials
username = "apiuser"
password = "apipassword"
ip_address = "8.8.8.8"
hostname = "bogushostname.local"
status = 1

url = 'https://127.0.0.1:17778/SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/'

# Query to find the IP address
query = f"SELECT Uri FROM IPAM.IPNode WHERE IPAddress = '{ip_address}'"
urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)

headers = {
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

ip_response = requests.post(url + 'Query', auth=(username, password), headers=headers, data=json.dumps({"query": query}), verify=False)
payload = {
    "status": status,
    "DnsBackward": hostname,
    "Comments": "Comments from the API"
}
uri = ip_response.json()['results'][0]['Uri']
response = requests.post(url + uri, auth=(username, password), headers=headers, json=payload, verify=False)

print(response.status_code)

Havnt used this IPAM feature really, the import section has always worked for me even with break bulk
I imagine it'd be one or more of the Invoke/IPAM. calls, else CRUD on a URI on the swagger you posted
