I'm not aware of this functionality currently.

The Cisco APIs are primarily designed for network management and monitoring purposes, such as retrieving device information, configuration details, and monitoring network health; they are not intended for downloading firmware images or other software files.

To obtain Cisco IOS images, you should follow the official channels provided by Cisco. This typically involves having a valid support contract with Cisco and accessing the Cisco Software Download Center on their website.

If you have a support contract with Cisco, you can log in to the Cisco Software Download Center using your Cisco account and search for the desired IOS images. From there, you can download the appropriate IOS image for your specific device model and version.

Using the official channels ensures that you have access to the correct and authorized IOS images, which are crucial for device compatibility, security, and compliance.

Hi,

it looks like https://developer.cisco.com/site/support-apis/ (see Cisco Support API Web Services) and more specifically https://developer.cisco.com/docs/support-apis/#!automated-software-distribution/download-variant might help you to download SW.

I haven't use them, so you will need to play with them.
