v4.5.3

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

The /api/dcim/devices/ endpoint does not include region in the device response payload.

A device is linked to a site, and site is linked to a region, but the region information is not exposed in the device object itself.

Use case

When consuming /api/dcim/devices/ for automation (e.g. Ansible, Terraform, reporting), region is frequently required for both innventory grouping and configuration scoping

Currently this requires:

Fetch devices
Extract site IDs
Query /api/dcim/sites/
Build a site to region mapping

Including region in the device payload would drastically simplify this.
