Bitmain Antminer API?

[usao]

Does anyone know a way to query the general status or hashrate of a Bitmain Antminer rig using Linux? Something like 'curl' or 'wget' or similar?
Ive seen a few web pages about the API but im not having any luck replicating it.
Thanks

Why not try the API from Kano documentation?

Here's the link: https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/blob/master/API-README

Take note: newer units have restricted API access, and I think only the statistic API would work. If you are looking beyond that API, you might need to switch to another custom firmware to get a privileged API.

If your purpose is to monitor your unit and you have 1 or 2 units try awesomeminer.
