This video is a quick demo / example use case for Scrapli. Scrapli is a python module that makes CLI screen scraping for network devices easy! In this video, We'll walk through a quick overview & demo - then show how scrapli can be used in an example script.

I am currently working on studying for the following Cisco DevNet exam: Developing Applications using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs (DEVCOR 350-901). In future videos - I'll be taking the example script here and creating a containerized web app to review for the exam.
