>>> p = PuppetDB('https://puppetdb.example.com')
>>> p.nodes(Or(Fact('role', 'example', '='), Resource('Class', 'Klass_name', '=')))
[u'node1.example.com', u'node2.example.com']
>>> p.nodes_raw(Node('node1.example.com', '='))
[{u'deactivated': None, u'facts_timestamp': u'2014-08-25T19:45:00.707Z', u'name': u'node1.example.com', u'report_timestamp': u'2014-08-25T19:46:09.616Z', u'catalog_timestamp': u'2014-08-25T19:45:14.896Z'}]Values for multiple facts can be obtained by passing multiple facts names to facts argument.
>>> p = PuppetDB('https://puppetdb.example.com')
>>> p.facts(query=And(Fact('role', 'example', '='), Not(Resource('Class', 'Klass_name', '='))), facts=['role', 'hostname'])
{u'hostname': [u'hostname1'], u'role': [u'example']}
>>> p.facts_raw(Node('node1.example.com', '~'))
[{u'certname': u'node1.example.com', u'name': u'clientversion', u'value': u'3.8.7'}, {u'certname': u'node1.example.com', u'name': u'uptime_hours', u'value': u'656'}]Values for multiple resources can be obtained by passing multiple resources names to resources argument.
>>> p = PuppetDB('https://puppetdb.example.com')
>>> p.resources(query=And(Fact('role', 'example', '='), Not(Resource('Class', 'Klass_name', '='))), resources=['Some_resource'])
{u'Some_resource': [u'Resource_title']}
>>> p.resources_raw(query=Node('node1.example.com', '~'), resources=['Some_resource'])
