cURL isn't really meant to be used as a filter mechanism but you can achieve this by setting the cURL output to a variable then using egrep to pull out the strings that you want.



The below should get you the information filtered down from the whole JSON that is returned. I tested this with V2 of the API:

/PrismGateway/services/rest/v2.0/vms/?length=1&include_vm_nic_config=true





I would really suggest using Python or the JQ Module to parse the Key Value pairs for JSON output rather than trying to egrep it. It would be much cleaner:

thanks for the answer @rhunt

Is it possible to extract with sed the content of 'ipAddresses' ? for example:



"hypervisorType": "kKvm",

"ipAddresses": [

"172.10.10.10"

],

"memoryCapacityInBytes": 4294967296,

sed is going to be a little more difficult. You will have to use substitution to print ONLY the data you want and not the entire line. I have only ever used sed for file line replacements.



I THINK the regex for sed would look something like this to get exactly what you have listed above. Untested:
