All Endpoint only listen on HTTP POST requests and the API KEY must set as
``key`` in the formdata.
Below see one example or curl and one for python.
In the following, the documentation is reduced to curl.
.. code-block:: none
curl --location --request POST 'https://vyos/retrieve' \
--form data='{"op": "showConfig", "path": []}' \
--form key='MY-HTTPS-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY'
.. code-block:: python
import requests
url = "https://vyos/retrieve"
payload={'data': '{"op": "showConfig", "path": []}',
'key': 'MY-HTTPS-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY'
}
headers = {}
response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(response.text)

/retrieve
=========

To get the whole configuration, pass an empty list to the ``path`` field
.. code-block:: none
curl --location --request POST 'https://vyos/retrieve' \
--form data='{"op": "showConfig", "path": []}' \
--form key='MY-HTTPS-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY'
response (shorted)
{
"success": true,
"data": {
"interfaces": {
"ethernet": {
"eth0": {
"address": "dhcp",
"duplex": "auto",
"hw-id": "50:00:00:01:00:00",
"speed": "auto"
},
"eth1": {
"duplex": "auto",
"hw-id": "50:00:00:01:00:01",

curl -k --location --request POST 'https://vyos/retrieve' \

--form key='MY-HTTPS-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY'
response:
{
"success": true,

if you just want the Value of a multi-valued node, use the ``returnValues``
operation.
for example get the addresses of a ``dum0`` interface

curl -k --location --request POST 'https://vyos/retrieve' \
--form data='{"op": "returnValues", "path": ["interfaces","dummy","dum0","address"]}' \
--form key='MY-HTTPS-API-PLAINTEXT-KEY'
respone:
