Looking for Socket Interface Wan Role and Precedence

Hello devs! I am trying to fetch interface data for our application. In doing so, I realized that I cannot locate the interface wan role # and the precedence # from CATO API. I did some digging...

    Hey JessieBryan I think you're right, I've hunted high and low and I can't find a field in the public API which maps to role. This has also been identified as a gap by some of our field engineers working with customers on automation projects, so it is known, but if you were to submit an RFE for this that would also help grease the wheels.

I just realized the API data I provided has transforms that are not CATO native. 

Here is the non-transformed example data:

{
    "interfaces": [
        {
            "connected": true,
            "id": "1",
            "info": {
                "destType": "CATO",
                "id": "1",
                "name": "WAN 01"
            },
            "name": "WAN 01",
            "naturalOrder": 1
        },
        {
            "connected": true,
            "id": "2",
            "info": {
                "destType": "CATO",
                "id": "2",
                "name": "WAN 02"
            },
            "name": "WAN 02",
            "naturalOrder": 3
        },
        {
            "connected": false,
            "id": "LTE",
            "info": {
                "destType": "CATO",
                "id": "LTE",
                "name": "LTE 01"
            },
            "name": "LTE 01",
            "naturalOrder": 3
        }
    ]
}
