hi, @gilliek
I want to get the snat member list attribute in ltm, what should I do? We don't see the corresponding method of struct?

Hi @lefeck

Snat API are not implemented in our client at the moment. To work around the issue you can use the following method:

https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/e-XpertSolutions/f5-rest-client/f5#Client.ReadQuery

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/e-XpertSolutions/f5-rest-client/f5"
)

func main() {
	f5Client, err := f5.NewBasicClient("https://<some-ip-address>", "admin", "admin")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	f5Client.DisableCertCheck()

        var data struct{
              Items []struct{
                  Name string `json:"name"`
              } `json:"items"`
        }
	if err := f5.ReadQuery("/mgmt/tm/ltm/snatpool", &data); err != nil {
              log.Fatal(err)
        }
}

Basically you just need to define the structure returned by the API and use the ReadQuery method.

If you need more attributes, you can also query the API using Postman, cURL or directly from the browser and use somehting like json-to-go to generate the Go struct for you:
