Puppet users - Nov 2013 - Puppet resource details using http api or puppetdb api

Is there a way to get the package version or service status using the 
puppet api calls?

Following resource commands show version/status in the output:
puppet resource package iptables
puppet resource service iptables

Can the api be used to get similar output?

Thanks
Riju

 Puppet resource command is a face, so you can query via:

''0.0.1''].find(''package/linecache'').to_pson
{"title":"linecache","exported":false,"tags":["package","linecache"],"type":"Package","parameters":{"provider":"gem","configfiles":"keep","loglevel":"notice","ensure":["0.46"]}}

Look in the source code and there''s additional examples such as listing
all
resource of a type:

all_users = Puppet::Face[:resource,
''0.0.1''].search("user")

Thanks,

Bla, have to read more carefully since subject makes a difference here, if
you want to search puppet db use (which also supplies a puppet face):
