If the data is displayed in the UI, then it is available via RPC API; because the UI is using it to fetch the data.

You should get a little bit more clearer which data you are interested in. Please understand that i do not have the time to read the whole forum post to pick the information. Please describe it here.

I asked the dev to fill in more info for you.

I think there was some misunderstanding.
I was asking if it was possible to get current bandwidth per adapter (RX/TX) from API.
Only way it is available in OMV UI I could find are RRD graphs.
If it was made available tho, it would be useful for automation flows. For example, I use bandwidth data to trigger NAS offsite backups/sync during low usage periods.
