Can I access a host's item value through the Zabbix API?

[spaghetti]

Just as in the title, I need to access a certain host's Item and do some stuff with it in a python script. For reasons that are too complicated to explain, I need to do what I am trying to do this exact way. I know that there's a Zabbix API and that you can make requests to it via a python script but I don't know whether it's possible to access a host's item, I looked in the docs and googled this issue but nothing has come up. So I come asking, is it possible? And if so, how do i do it?

Zabbix 5.0.16

Yes you can, using item.get API call, there you define hostid which you want to query.

Below is a sample code generated by postman.

import requests

url = "http://YOUR_ZABBIX_URL/api_jsonrpc.php"

payload = "{\r\n    \"jsonrpc\": \"2.0\",\r\n    \"method\": \"item.get\",\r\n    \"params\": {\r\n        \"output\": \"extend\",\r\n        \"hostids\": \"YOUR_HOST_ID\"\r\n    },\r\n    \"auth\": \"YOUR_API_KEY\",\r\n    \"id\": 1\r\n}"
headers = {
  'Content-Type': ' application/json'
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)
