get a cli output via api

HAIT_NETAPP — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:44:56 GMT

Is there a way that I can get a cli output via api, rather than get a xml file and I have to parse it?

for example, I need following snap list output,

> snap list vol0

Volume vol0

working...

%/used %/total date name

---------- ---------- ------------ --------

1% ( 1%) 0% ( 0%) Jan 22 12:00 hourly.0

2% ( 1%) 0% ( 0%) Jan 22 08:00 hourly.1

4% ( 2%) 0% ( 0%) Jan 22 00:01 nightly.0

5% ( 1%) 0% ( 0%) Jan 21 20:00 hourly.2

6% ( 1%) 0% ( 0%) Jan 21 16:00 hourly.3

7% ( 1%) 0% ( 0%) Jan 21 12:01 hourly.4

9% ( 1%) 0% ( 0%) Jan 21 08:01 hourly.5

10% ( 2%) 0% ( 0%) Jan 21 00:01 nightly.1

is that doable?

Just run the command via ssh/rsh. The whole point of using API is to avoid parsing command output. You get exactly the same information via API calls but in more reliable and “computer-friendly” way.
