+**********************
+vyos.rest.vyos_command
+**********************
+
+**Run show commands on VyOS devices using REST API**
+
+
+Version added: 1.0.0

+ :depth: 1
+
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+- Sends show commands to VyOS devices via the REST API ``/show`` endpoint and returns the output.
+- Equivalent to ``vyos_command`` in the CLI collection but uses the REST API.
+- Uses REST API (``connection=httpapi``) instead of CLI.
